| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a finely engraved pastoral scene of a farmer guiding a horse-drawn plough across a tilled field, with two draught horses at left and a rural landscape in the background. A large ornate £5 numeral in guilloche underprint occupies the centre, flanked by bilingual text in English and Irish running vertically along both side margins. The signatures of the Chairman of the Currency Commission and the bank's authorised signatory appear above and below the central vignette respectively, with the serial number printed in red at upper right and lower left. |
