| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Jan van Riebeeck facing left occupies the left portion of the note, set within intricate guilloche borders with denominational numeral '5' in dark cartouches at each side. Bilingual promise-to-pay text in English and Afrikaans runs in parallel lines across the centre above the Governor's signature block, with 'PRETORIA' at left and 'GOVERNOR / PRESIDENT' at right. The lower centre carries bold intaglio lettering 'FIVE / VYF RAND' over a multicolour geometric underprint, with 'SUID-AFRIKAANSE RESERWEBANK' inscribed along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio rendering of a gold mine headgear and surface plant complex, with ore dumps and mine buildings executed in fine line engraving against a pale peach and pink guilloche underprint. A large bold numeral '5' in multicolour guilloche fills the left margin, with a smaller outline '5' to the right, both framed by ornate lathe-work borders running along the top and bottom edges. |
