Obverse description	An oval intaglio portrait vignette of General José María Córdoba in military uniform occupies the left portion of the note, captioned 'CORDOBA' at its base, set against a green guilloche underprint. To the right, a seated allegorical female figure rendered in fine intaglio engraving accompanies the large letterpress denomination 'CINCO PESOS ORO' at centre. The issuing authority 'EL BANCO DE LA REPUBLICA' is inscribed across the top, with date, series designation, and two facsimile signatures of bank officials at lower centre right.

Reverse description	The central intaglio vignette presents a view of the Banco de la República building in Bogotá, with the caption 'EDIFICIO DEL BANCO DE LA REPUBLICA EN BOGOTA' inscribed below. The building vignette is flanked by decorative guilloche rosettes — a large circular rosette to the left and an ornate numeral '5' cartouche to the right — with laurel branch ornaments framing the composition. The bank name and location appear in bold letterpress at top and bottom, with the printer's imprint at the foot.
