Reverse description Printed entirely in green. The centre of the note is occupied by the issuing bank's name in large bold lettering across a finely engraved guilloche background, flanked on each side by a large numeral "5" set within an elaborate lathe-work rosette. A dense engine-turned border with Greek-key corner ornaments frames the entire design, and the printer's imprint appears at the lower centre margin.
