| Obverse description | An intaglio-printed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing three-quarter view is set within a circular guilloche frame at the right, printed in green and mauve tones over an intricate lathe-work underprint that fills the entire field. To the left, a large blank oval reserve serves as the watermark area, flanked by the denomination numerals '5/-' in each corner. The centre bears the bold legend 'GOVERNMENT OF FIJI' above 'THESE NOTES ARE LEGAL TENDER FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNT' and the large denomination text 'FIVE SHILLINGS', with the issue date and three manuscript signatures of the Commissioners of Currency below. |
