| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The face is printed in black letterpress on grey-toned rag paper, with a diamond-pattern border running the full perimeter. At upper left and lower corners the denomination "5d." appears four times in the border area. Centre-left carries a square vignette of the Connecticut colonial coat of arms — a grapevine with three clusters above a shield bearing the motto "QUI TRANSTULIT SUSTINET" — enclosed in a decorative foliate frame with the legend "CONNECTICUT" and "OCTOBER" around its edge. To the right of the vignette, in mixed roman and italic type, appears the authorising text. A manuscript serial number in red ink is written at the top, and a commissioner's handwritten signature in red ink appears at the foot beside the printed word "Commi". |

Connecticut's 1777 emission was authorized by the General Assembly to fund the colony's — by then, state's — contribution to the Revolutionary War effort. The 5 Pence denomination was among the smallest issued in this series, intended for petty transactions at a moment when metal coinage had largely vanished from circulation as hoarding intensified.
Printed in Hartford by Timothy Green, these notes carried elaborate nature-print leaf borders, a technique used across colonial Connecticut issues as a counterfeit deterrent. Green had held the colony's printing contract for decades.
