| Obverse description | Violet and red intaglio note with a finely engraved lotus plant vignette at left, the bloom and bud rising above broad lily-pad leaves. The centre carries the bilingual denomination inscriptions in bold letterpress, with two manuscript signatures below, identified by the printed titles SECRETARIS and PRESIDENT. A large guilloche rosette incorporating the numeral 5 occupies the upper right, with a second decorative guilloche medallion at lower right; the date 1946 appears in large figures beneath it. |

| Reverse description | Printed in violet and green, the reverse is dominated by a large stylised floral or fan-shaped geometric underprint in the centre, with the interlaced monogram 'JB' (De Javasche Bank) superimposed at its apex. The serial number and prefix letters appear twice in the middle field. Four text panels occupy the corners: upper left in Dutch and upper right in Malay set out the legal warnings against counterfeiting, while the lower left panel carries Javanese script and the lower right panel carries Chinese characters, all repeating the anti-forgery statute. Numeral 5 denominators appear at upper right and lower left within guilloche borders. |
