Obverse description A chinze (mythical lion-dragon guardian figure) is rendered in detailed intaglio at the right, facing left against a palm tree vignette. At centre, an oval cartouche framed by ornate scrollwork serves as the signature and serial number panel, with the denomination numeral '5' repeated in the upper-left and lower-left corners within the guilloche border. Burmese script inscriptions appear in the upper centre panel, with two manuscript signatures and printed text below.
