| Obverse description | Blue intaglio-printed note with the bank name in bold letterpress along the top and bottom borders. A central vignette shows a classical female figure seated beside a sailing ship, flanked by two oval guilloche medallions inscribed FIVE. A handwritten promise-to-pay text reads 'I Promise to pay the Bearer on demand Five Pounds Sterling', with Manager signature line at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Plain blue reverse printed with a large central guilloche numeral '5' surrounded by four ornate circular lathe-work rosettes at the corners, all in pale blue on white paper. The bank name appears in mirror-relief along the lower border. The design is minimal, relying on intricate engine-turned patterns for visual security. |
