| Obverse description | Printed in blue on a light ground, the obverse carries the bank title "Bank Polski" in italic script at upper centre, with the denomination "PIĘĆ ZŁOTYCH" in large sans-serif capitals below. To the right, an intaglio vignette presents a female portrait — a young woman in Renaissance-style dress and jewelled headdress — set within a circular guilloche frame and surrounded by foliate ornament. The issue date "Warszawa d. 2 Stycznia 1930 r." appears in the central field, accompanied by three manuscript facsimile signatures below the titles Prezes Banku, Naczelny Dyrektor, and Skarbnik; the series letters and serial number are printed in red at the foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue and built around an elaborate geometric and floral guilloche border whose lateral panels carry repeated stylised peacock-eye and foliate motifs interspersed with the interlaced monogram "BP". At the centre, "Bank Polski" in italic script heads a cartouche of fine lathe-work underprint bearing the legal-tender text in four lines; the Polish eagle displayed in a small vignette appears at the top centre above the cartouche, and the numeral "5" is repeated in large form on both the left and right margins. The denomination "PIĘĆ ZŁOTYCH" runs along the lower border. |
