Obverse description The obverse is divided into two distinct panels. The left panel carries an oval intaglio vignette of a young woman in peasant dress set within an elaborate orange guilloche underprint, with a serial number box labeled 'NUMERO' below. The right panel bears two large counters reading '5' flanking a central allegorical intaglio vignette of a draped female figure with a child, above the text 'CINCO' repeated on either side; the issuer inscription 'BANCO DE CIRCULACION Y DESCUENTO' appears at the top, with the payable clause and denomination 'CINCO PESOS' in script below, referencing Guayaquil as the place of issue. The note illustrated is a specimen, with zeroed serial numbers and 'MUESTRA' overprints.
