| Obverse description | Blue-black intaglio print on cream cotton paper. The upper centre vignette presents a seated allegorical female figure of Britannia with a shield and lion, flanked by the numeral '5' at upper left and the denomination panel 'ONE DOLLAR' in a vertical cartouche at right. A secondary vignette at lower left shows a seated artisan at a workbench, while a steam locomotive and tender appear in a vignette at lower centre-right. The promise-to-pay text in copperplate script reads across the centre field, with manuscript signatures for Cashier and President at the bottom. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in red-brown on cream cotton paper, the reverse is composed of an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design without pictorial vignettes. Three large interlocking circular rosettes dominate the field, each filled with fine engine-turned geometric patterns, flanked by two smaller rosettes at the outer edges; a horizontal band of dense oval guilloche links the composition across the centre. |
