| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely composed of fine-line guilloche lathe work printed in blue-violet, with a large central oval medallion enclosing a bold numeral '5' set within concentric engine-turned rosette patterns. Two symmetrical quatrefoil guilloche panels flank the central medallion, each bearing a further numeral '5', and acanthus scroll ornaments fill the upper corners within a plain rectangular border frame. |
