| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black intaglio. The upper portion bears the bank title 'Banco Salvadoreño' in large serif letters across the top margin, with the promise text 'Pagará al portador en moneda efectiva' in the centre field over a fine guilloche underprint incorporating the numeral 5. To the right, a large allegorical vignette depicts a seated female figure — representing Commerce or Justice — with a scale, books, and associated attributes, rendered in detailed engraved style. Denomination counters reading 'Cinco Pesos' and the numeral '5' appear at multiple corners, with the place of issue 'San Salvador' and signature lines for Administrador, Director, and Cajero at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green intaglio. The design is dominated by two large interlocking guilloche rosettes, each bearing a bold numeral '5' at the centre, set within an elaborate lathe-work geometric border that fills the entire field. At the top centre, a small cherub head vignette serves as a centrepiece between the two rosettes. The issuer's name is split across two cartouches at the lower centre reading 'EL BANCO' and 'SALVADOREÑO', with the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Company, New York' along the bottom margin. |
