| Obverse description | Uniface emergency circulating note produced by letterpress in black ink on plain paper stock, with the denomination numeral '5' and cent symbol forming the dominant central device. Surrounding text legends in black identify the issuing authority and redemption obligation, while the serial number is printed in red at the upper portion of the note. Signature lines with official title designations appear along the lower margin, consistent with wartime Philippine municipal emergency currency practice. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears printed text in both English and Spanish, the note having been produced on the verso of pre-war Philippine legal document stock repurposed as note paper during the Japanese occupation. Partial legends reference a sworn declaration or oath, with bilingual lines reading 'subscribed and sworn to before me' and 'declarado ante mi hoy a', together with a 'Member' designation at the lower right. Ink transfer staining and foxing across the surface are characteristic of improvised wartime emergency note production. |
