| Obverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio-engraved rural scene of a ploughman guiding a horse-drawn plough across a field, with two draught horses in the foreground and a pastoral landscape in the background. A large guilloche-framed denomination numeral '£5' occupies the centre, flanked by ornate scrollwork cornerpieces bearing '£5' numerals at lower left and right. The Chairman of the Currency Commission's signature appears at the top centre within an elaborate cartouche, with bilingual English and Irish text running across the upper and lower registers. |

| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette presents a finely engraved panoramic view of St. Patrick's Bridge over the River Lee in Cork, with the city's skyline including church towers and merchant buildings rendered in precise detail against a cloud-filled sky. The vignette is set within an elaborate arched frame of dense guilloche lacework and acanthus scroll ornamentation, with large '£5' denomination cyphers positioned at the lower left and right within scrolled cartouches. A pale blue guilloche underprint extends across the entire reverse field. |
