| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single brown-ochre tone and covered entirely by a dense, symmetrical pattern of interlocking guilloche rosettes and floral lathe-work, creating a rich geometric underprint across the full field. At centre, a circular medallion bears a globe device surrounded by the legend IMPERIO DO BRAZIL. Large numeral 5 devices appear at the top centre and lower centre, and the printer's imprint AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY NEW YORK is set in small letterpress at the lower left and lower right margins. |
