The obverse is printed in black on white paper with a central vignette at the top centre showing a seated allegorical figure accompanied by agricultural implements and machinery in a landscape setting. The bank title BORÅS ENSKILDA BANK is set in bold letterpress below the vignette, followed by the Swedish redemption clause intaglio-printed text. The denomination FEM (five) appears within a central cartouche flanked by the word Kronor in Gothic script on either side, with oval guilloche panels bearing the word BORÅS vertically on both the left and right margins. The date Borås den 1 Oktober 1876 and serial number appear in the lower portion, accompanied by three manuscript signatures. |

The reverse presents a mirror-image impression of the obverse design, printed in black, consistent with the letterpress bleed-through technique common to Swedish enskilda bank notes of the period. The central vignette with the allegorical agricultural scene is visible in reverse at the top, with the bank name and denomination legends likewise appearing in reverse orientation. Oval guilloche panels bearing BORÅS in reverse are positioned on both lateral margins, and the serial number is legible in mirror image at the upper right. |

Borås Enskilda Bank was one of Sweden's provincial private banks operating under the enskilda bank system, which granted chartered institutions the right to issue their own notes — a privilege that persisted until the Riksbank consolidated the monopoly on note issuance in the early twentieth century. By 1876, the system was already under political pressure, and many smaller regional banks were consolidating or winding down their circulation privileges within a decade or two of notes like this one being issued.
Pick 114 is sparsely documented, and surviving examples from Borås are uncommon relative to the major urban issuers of the period.
