| Obverse description | Printed in black and green on paper with intricate guilloche underprints, the obverse carries the promise-to-pay legend in English across the centre field, with denomination numerals '5' repeated at each corner as security elements. A coin-style portrait vignette of King George V is positioned at the upper right. The overall layout follows the standard colonial-issue format characteristic of early Government of India currency notes. |
