| Obverse description | Central vignette at upper centre shows an engraved coastal scene with a full-rigged sailing ship at anchor beside a tall palm tree, printed in dark brown on an uncoloured ground. The denomination FIVE DOLLARS is repeated vertically in ornate letterpress within heavily shaded side panels at left and right margins. The promise-to-pay text, rendered in a mix of bold display type and copperplate script, occupies the lower half of the note, with a hand-filled date line reading Monrovia and two manuscript signatures below, attributed to the Secretary of the Treasury and the Vice President respectively. |
