| Obverse description | Green intaglio-printed note with an intricate guilloche border framing the entire face. At right, an ornate cartouche encloses a portrait of King George V facing left. The denomination £5 appears in a panel to the lower right of the portrait, while the trilingual value inscription — in Greek (ΠΕΝΤΕ ΛΙΡΑΙ), Arabic, and English (FIVE POUNDS) — is centered across the note above the issuing authority legend. The date and Commissioner of Currency signature appear in manuscript at lower center, with the serial number printed in two positions at upper left and lower right. |

| Reverse description | Predominantly plain paper reverse printed in green, with the circular arms of Cyprus — a shield bearing two rampant lions passant — positioned to the left. The bold gothic-script inscription GOVERNMENT OF CYPRUS occupies the lower right portion of the note, set against an otherwise unadorned background with faint guilloche underprint. |
