| Reverse description | The back is printed entirely in green, with a symmetrical design centered on a large ornate cartouche bearing the text EL BANCO OXANDABURU Y GARBINO, surrounded by intricate lathe-work and guilloche patterns. Two circular medallions at left and right each contain the numeral 5 within a rosette of fine engine-turned lines.
