| Obverse description | Printed entirely in blue on a fine wavy-line guilloche underprint that covers the entire field. The central vignette consists of a horizontal oval cartouche bearing the denomination inscription in bold serif type, flanked left and right by large circular medallions each carrying the numeral "5" in an ornate script. Decorative rosette and dot-border elements occupy the four corners, with the camp name and restriction legend rendered in ribbon banners at top and bottom. |
