| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green and centres on a large bold Roman numeral V framed within an elaborate guilloche panel, with the inscription CINCO PESOS and EL BANCO DE CORRIENTES running horizontally across the middle of the numeral. Denominational numerals 5 appear in each corner within circular guilloche medallions, and the entire field is filled with intricate lathe-work geometric patterns characteristic of mid-nineteenth-century security printing. |
