| Obverse description | Intaglio-style vignette of actor Yul Brynner in right-facing profile occupies the central and right portions of the note, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint of interlocking triangular patterns in blue, orange, and green. A vertical film-strip vignette at left carries three miniature portrait frames of Brynner in various roles, flanked by large numeral '5' numerals in green at each corner. Three facsimile signatures appear at lower left, and the name inscription 'YUL BRYNNER 1920–1985' is placed at lower centre; a stylised Hollywood Walk of Fame star is visible at lower right. |

| Comments |
Banco de Kamberra is a fantasy issuer with no sovereign or territorial authority — these notes are artist's collectibles, not monetary instruments of any jurisdiction. The "Numisma" denomination is entirely invented. Franck Medina has produced similar fantasy series under fictional bank names before, and the format follows that output: limited print runs sold directly to collectors, with no pretense of legal tender status.
Yul Brynner was born in Vladivostok in 1920 — the exact date disputed even in his lifetime, partly by his own doing.
