| Obverse description | Second issue printed in green, pink, and lavender on machine-made paper with embedded security thread. The note carries a front-facing portrait of King George VI as the central watermark, with the promise-to-pay text and the Governor's signature framed by intricate guilloche underprint patterns. The multicolour design incorporates the Reserve Bank of India's legends in English alongside the issuing authority's guarantee text. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed predominantly in green with pink and red guilloche underprints. To the left, a circular vignette bears the Reserve Bank of India seal with an elephant motif and the legend RESERVE BANK OF INDIA encircling it. The central field carries the denomination in multiple Indian scripts against a complex lathework background, while to the right a large ornate arch frame — reminiscent of Mughal architectural motifs — encloses a blank panel, with the large numeral "5" and the currency symbol "Rs." rendered in bold intaglio at centre-right. |
