Obverse description	A three-quarter portrait of a Malagasy woman in intaglio occupies the right half of the note against a red guilloche underprint, with a white circular watermark area to her right; the centre carries a vignette of white tropical flowers over a fine guilloche background, flanked on the left by an intaglio vignette of two zebus with long curved horns. The bilingual bank title appears at top centre in both Malagasy (BANKY FOIBEN'NY REPOBLIKA MALAGASY) and French (BANQUE CENTRALE DE LA REPUBLIQUE MALGACHE), with the facial value 5000 and the Malagasy equivalent ARIVO ARIARY rendered in large bold numerals and lettering across the lower portion.
