Obverse description	Green on multicolour underprint. Portrait of President Modibo Keita at left centre, with a vignette of farmers plowing at lower right. The face value and bank title are rendered in intaglio lettering against a fine guilloche underprint.
Obverse lettering	BANQUE DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE DU MALI CINQ MILLE FRANCS LE 22 SEPTEMBRE 1960 TOUT CONTREFACTEUR ET COMPLICES SERONT PUNIT PAR LA LOI EN VIGUEUR (Translation: Bank of Republic of Mali Five Thousand Francs September 22th., 1960 Any counterfeiter and accomplice will be punished by applicable law)
Reverse description	Printed in green on an uncoloured ground. A large central oval vignette encloses a Sudano-Sahelian architectural facade — likely the Bamako railway station or a prominent public building — flanked by trees, with a busy market scene in the foreground populated by figures, cyclists, and stacked goods. The denomination '5000' appears in each corner within guilloche panels, and the value legend is set in a cartouche along the lower border.
