| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green intaglio and centres on a large scenic vignette of Table Bay harbour, with a full-rigged sailing ship to the left under a radiating sun, and an industrial waterfront with cattle droving in the foreground. The heading SOUTH AFRICAN RESERVE BANK appears at the top within a fine guilloche border, with the denomination numeral 5 at each corner. The promise-to-pay legend, place of issue (Pretoria), date, and Governor's manuscript signature appear to the right in letterpress. |
