At centre, a scroll cartouche bears the title 'ITALIA' above the denomination text 'LIRE CINQUE' in large letterpress, flanked at right by a decorative rosette vignette incorporating the numeral '5'. Three signature lines appear below the central text block, with ornamental floral underprint running along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central guilloche vignette incorporating the numeral '5' above the word 'LIRE', surrounded by elaborate scrollwork and acanthus-leaf ornamental design in intaglio. Serial numbers appear in the upper left and lower right corners, with the complementary serial numbers in the upper right and lower left. A banner at the lower centre carries the anti-counterfeiting warning inscription, and the legislative decree references are arched across the top of the central vignette. Ornamental floral column borders frame the design on both sides. |
