The Jamaican Arms appears within a circular vignette at upper left, while a right-facing portrait of King George V is set within a beaded circular frame at upper right. The denomination '5/-' appears in ornate cartouches at lower left and lower right, with 'FIVE SHILLINGS' in bold letterpress across the centre band.

| 背面描述 | The reverse is printed in brown on an uncoloured ground and centres on a large oval vignette of a full-rigged sailing vessel, traditionally identified as Columbus's Santa María, rendered in detailed intaglio engraving. The oval is bordered by a fine dot-and-rule frame inscribed 'FIVE SHILLINGS' along the upper and lower arcs. Ornate guilloche rosettes flank the central vignette at left and right, each containing a '5s' denomination tablet. |

Jamaica's Treasury notes of this type were authorized under wartime emergency powers, a direct response to the hoarding of coin that gripped the Caribbean colonies after 1914. Small silver disappeared from circulation almost immediately — soldiers needed metal, and islanders knew it. Paper substitutes at fractional denominations were the Colonial Office's solution, pushed through quickly and without much appetite for elaborate design.
De La Rue produced the series in London under conditions already strained by wartime print demands. P#28 is among the scarcer denominations from this issue, as five-shilling notes turned over rapidly in everyday trade and few survived intact.
