| Obverse description | The left portion carries a vignette of the Rizal Monument in Manila, rendered in fine intaglio engraving against a dark green guilloche underprint. A large numeral '5' within an oval wreath medallion occupies the centre, with the denomination legend 'FIVE PESOS' below and corner numerals '5' in all four quadrants. Japanese characters along the lower border identify the Imperial Government of Japan as the issuing authority. |
