| Obverse description | Yellow-green and blue note with a vertical panel along the left edge bearing three heraldic coats of arms in intaglio. At top centre, a rectangular vignette presents an engraved view of Marischal College, Aberdeen, flanked by two guilloche-framed £5 counters. The main text panel at centre carries the promise-to-pay legend within an elaborate oval guilloche underprint, with the denomination FIVE POUNDS set in a bold cartouche. Two manuscript signatures appear at the foot, attributed to the Accountant and General Manager respectively, alongside the serial number repeated twice. |

| Reverse description | Yellow-green ground with a blue intaglio design centred on the bank's circular heraldic seal, surrounded by a radiating sunburst guilloche and an outer legend band citing the relevant Acts of Parliament.

The £5 denomination counter is repeated six times around the field — once at top centre, once at bottom centre, and once in each corner — with a vertical guilloche panel along the right edge carrying the bank's name in letterpress. |
