| Obverse description | Typographically printed note on plain paper with an intricate guilloche underprint in blue covering the entire face. The royal Prussian crown and eagle crest appear in the upper centre between the issuer title and denomination. The denomination "Fünf Thlr. Courant" is set in large blackletter type across the centre field, flanked by vertical marginal lettering reading "5 Thaler Courant" on both sides. Below the denomination, the issue authority "Haupt-Verwaltung der Staats-Schulden" is printed in bold blackletter, followed by multiple manuscript signatures and a serial number entry line reading "Eingetragen sub No" with the series letter "Lit. E". A small-text forgery warning panel runs along the bottom border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely covered by a complex intaglio-printed security pattern composed of a grid of nine interlocking guilloche panels, each containing an ornate cartouche. The central medallion bears the circular inscription "5 Preuss. Courant" surrounding a lathe-work rosette, while flanking rectangular panels carry the denomination "5 Thaler" in script. Corner and border panels repeat trilingual ownership legends in German, French ("Billet du Trésor Prussien"), and English ("Prussian Treasury Bill"), serving as an anti-counterfeiting measure through the density and intricacy of the engine-turned work. |
