| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark blue-black ink on white paper, with the bank title BANCO DE QUITO in bold letterpress across the upper register and the imprint of the American Bank Note Company visible at the top border. Two allegorical female figures serve as lateral vignettes — one seated to the left and one to the right — flanking a central numeral 5 within an ornate guilloche frame, above which the value legend CINCO PESOS appears in large intaglio text. The date Quito, Enero 2 de 1880 is printed in the lower central field, accompanied by two manuscript signature lines captioned EL GERENTE and EL DIRECTOR. |
