| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with the large bold title EL BANCO DE LA UNIÓN arching across the upper centre, flanked by two classical allegorical female vignettes — one seated with a globe at left, the other with agricultural implements at right. A central cherub vignette occupies the middle ground beneath the bank name, with the numeral 5 in ornate panels at lower left and lower right. The imprint of Palau, Corrales & Compª appears at top centre, the place and date Bogotá, Enero 1º de 1883 is inscribed above the central vignette, and the legend Pagará al portador á la vista en moneda legal corriente runs across the lower portion; SPECIMEN overprints appear in red at the signature areas. |
