| Obverse description | Uniface note printed in red-brown on white paper. The bank title 'Colonial Bank of Issue' runs in a bold script arc across the upper portion, centred on the Royal Arms vignette flanked by lion supporters with crown above and motto ribbon below. Denomination numeral '£5' appears at upper left and an oval guilloche panel bearing 'FIVE' at upper right, with serial numbers in black letterpress on either side below the arms. A horizontal guilloche band across the centre carries the promise-to-pay text in script, with 'Five Pounds' in an ornate cartouche at the foot of the note. |
