| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in blue-green intaglio on a pale guilloche underprint. A central vignette presents the bank's coat of arms flanked by two allegorical female figures — one holding a trident and one with agricultural implements — with ornate foliate borders framing the composition. The bank title 'THE NATAL BANK LIMITED' appears in bold letterpress across the upper register, with the promise text and denomination 'FIVE POUNDS' inscribed in script below, alongside signature lines for Accountant and Manager and the overprinted word 'SPECIMEN' in red. |
