| Obverse description | The face is dominated by an elaborate guilloche pattern printed in blue and green, with the numeral 5000 appearing in large format both at center within a framed oval vignette and at the lower corners. The denomination in words CINQ MILLE and FRANCS is set in bold letterpress across the upper and lower portions of the note, flanked by repeated underprint text reading SERIE DE 1944 / CINQ MILLE FRANCS / EMIS EN FRANCE arranged symmetrically on both sides. Ornamental corner pieces with floral motifs frame the design, and placeholder serial numbers appear in the upper right and lower left positions. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single blue tone and centers on a vignette of the French tricolor flag on a staff, rendered within a cartouche inscribed with the national motto. Radiating sunburst lines extend outward from the central vignette, filling the field and lending the design a dramatic effect. The composition is enclosed within a fine guilloche border with elaborate scrollwork corner ornaments. |
