| Obverse description | The right-hand portion of this uncut specimen carries the bank's circular arms vignette at upper centre, flanked on either side by the bank name legend and denomination numerals "5" within ornate guilloche roundels at each corner. A central banner inscription names the issuing bank, below which a script promise-to-pay clause and the date "1º Enero 1904" appear, with spaces provided for the signatures of El Tenedor de Libros, El Cajero, and El Director. The left-hand counterfoil, printed on the same pink paper, carries manuscript fields for number and date alongside a large denomination numeral. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on pink paper and composed entirely of geometric and foliate engraved ornament. A dense guilloche border surrounds the entire field, with numeral "5" medallions set within circular cartouches at each of the four corners. The central panel is framed by an inner border of repeating lozenge diaper-work and contains a horizontal band lettered "CINCO" flanked by two further numeral "5" roundels, above and below which elaborate acanthus-scroll vignettes fill the remaining space. |
