Reverse description	The reverse is printed in subdued blue-green tones with a central vignette of a Middle Eastern cityscape showing a domed mosque and minaret against a mountain backdrop, rendered in intaglio. To the left, an ornate blank cartouche framed by foliate and floral scrollwork is surmounted by a lion's head; the issuing bank's name is inscribed across the top in French. Denomination panels bearing the numeral '5' appear in the lower corners, and the legend 'CINQ LIVRES' is set in letterpress along the lower margin above the redemption clause.
