| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in a fine intaglio style typical of Perkins Bacon productions. At upper centre, the royal coat of arms of the London Bank of Mexico and South America is flanked by two vignettes: a standing female figure in classical dress to the left and a figure harvesting sugar cane to the lower right. The bank title 'BANCO DE LONDRES MEXICO Y SOD AMERICA' appears in bold letterpress across the top, with the denomination '5' in ornate guilloche rosettes at each corner. The central text in Spanish reads 'El Banco en Lima pagará á la vista al portador CINCO PESOS en efectivo', with 'CINCO PESOS' overprinted in a contrasting panel, and the word SPECIMEN printed diagonally across the lower right. |
