| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with a central vignette of the Banco Internacional de Guatemala seal — a circular device enclosing crossed flags (including the United States flag) and sailing ships, surrounded by the bank's name. The bank title 'El Banco Internacional de Guatemala' arches across the top in bold letterpress, with the denomination numeral '5' in a solid black panel at upper right. The promise to pay text 'pagará al portador en moneda efectiva' and the denomination 'CINCO PESOS' appear in the centre field, with the place and date line 'GUATEMALA, ___ de 18__' below. Three manuscript signatures appear at the bottom, with the printer's imprint along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a very light, largely unadorned style, with faint guilloche underprint patterns visible across the surface and a central oval vignette impression showing the bank seal in pale ink. The overall design is extremely plain relative to the obverse, with no prominent text legends, consistent with the American Bank Note Company's practice for this series. |
