The centre vignette presents a portrait of George Washington in an oval frame, flanked by elaborate guilloche scrollwork and large numeral '5' counters at left and right. The bilingual text reads in Spanish at left and English at right, both promising payment to the bearer on demand in gold or silver, with the denominations 'CINCO PESOS' and 'FIVE DOLLARS' printed in bold letterpress below the portrait. The arch inscription 'EL BANCO DE LA REPÚBLICA BOGOTÁ' and 'ESTADOS UNIDOS DE COLOMBIA' appear across the upper portion, with manuscript date spaces for issuing city and year of the 1880s. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Homer Lee Bank Note Company of New York was a mid-tier security printer that competed for Latin American contracts during the 1880s, undercutting the dominant American Bank Note Company on price. Colombian provincial and national banks placed several orders with them during this period, and the dual peso/dollar denomination reflects the practical realities of Colombia's Caribbean and Pacific trade circuits, where U.S. dollar-denominated transactions were common enough to warrant bilingual face values.
The "188_" dating convention means the final digit was completed by hand at issuance — standard for the era, but it makes precise dating of individual surviving notes difficult without accompanying documentation.
