| Obverse description | Left vignette shows a group of figures on the deck of a sailing vessel in an intaglio-engraved scene traditionally associated with Christopher Columbus sighting land, set within an ornate frame with guilloche border work. The central panel carries the bank title in bold letterpress across the upper portion, with a yellow guilloche underprint surrounding the large numeral '5' flanked by two 'CINCO SUCRES' cartouches at centre; 'SERIE B' appears twice at mid-left and mid-right. A numeral '5' within a solid circle occupies the lower right corner, with signature lines for 'GERENTE' and 'PRESIDENTE DEL DIRECTORIO' below the central vignette. |

| Reverse description | Central allegorical vignette in blue intaglio engraving presents a standing classical female figure, laurel-crowned and robed, with arms outstretched holding a torch and a fasces-like implement, set against radiating lines suggestive of glory or enlightenment. Two ornate guilloche rosettes, each enclosing the numeral '5' above 'SUCRES', flank the central figure at left and right, while a smaller numeral '5' in a circle appears at bottom centre. The entire composition is enclosed within a dense engine-turned border with scalloped outer edges. |
