Obverse description The obverse is framed by a fine ornamental border with corner rosettes and vertical side panels bearing the word KALMAR in gothic lettering. At the top and bottom margins, the denomination legend FEM RIKSDALER RIKSMYNT appears in letterpress. The bank title Kalmar Enskilda Bank is set in decorative script below the upper border, beneath which a circular vignette carries the municipal coat of arms of Kalmar; to the right, a large guilloche numeral 5 serves as the principal denomination indicator. This is a Prooftryck (proof print) example, as indicated by the manuscript annotations in the lower margin.

Reverse description The reverse presents a mirror-image layout of the obverse design, printed in a slightly lighter tone, consistent with the back printing of a proof specimen. The ornamental border, vertical KALMAR panels, and top and bottom FEM RIKSDALER RIKSMYNT legends are all reproduced, with the large guilloche numeral 5 now positioned to the left and the Kalmar coat-of-arms vignette to the right. A circular blue underprint guilloche rosette is visible at centre, overlapping the central text panel, providing an additional security element.
