| Obverse description | Central vignette in intaglio shows a classical allegorical female figure seated on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by agricultural and maritime implements, with tropical foliage to the right. To the left, an ornate cartouche contains the arms of Ecuador with an eagle supporter, set within a geometric guilloche underprint in green and orange. The denomination is stated in bold letterpress as "CINCO PESOS" at centre, with the place of issue "Guayaquil" and a partially printed date below, and the printer's imprint of the American Bank Note Company at the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single brown tone and is dominated by three large lathe-work rosettes arranged horizontally, each composed of intricate engine-turned guilloche patterns. At centre, a large bold numeral "5" is superimposed over an elaborate foliate ornament. The bank name is inscribed in an arched legend at the top, with the denomination repeated in two words along the lower border, and the corner numerals "5" completing the design. |
