| Reverse description | The reverse is unprinted plain white paper, characteristic of the early "White Fiver" issues of the Bank of England, with no typeset text, vignette, or decorative elements. Show-through of the obverse letterpress text is visible due to the thin stock, and a circular stamp impression is discernible at the upper right, consistent with an endorsement or cancellation mark applied during processing. |
