| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is executed in a fine intaglio style typical of Perkins Bacon productions. At upper centre, the royal coat of arms of the London Bank of Mexico and South America is flanked by two vignettes: a standing female figure in classical dress to the left and a figure harvesting sugar cane to the lower right. The bank title 'BANCO DE LONDRES MEXICO Y SOD AMERICA' appears in bold letterpress across the top, with the denomination '5' in ornate guilloche rosettes at each corner. The central text in Spanish reads 'El Banco en Lima pagará á la vista al portador CINCO PESOS en efectivo', with 'CINCO PESOS' overprinted in a contrasting panel, and the word SPECIMEN printed diagonally across the lower right. |

Banco de Londres México y Sud América was the Mexican subsidiary of the London Bank of Mexico and South America, a British-controlled institution that operated branches across Latin America from the 1860s. It was one of several foreign-chartered banks permitted to issue notes under Mexico's permissive pre-1884 banking regime, before the Ley General de Instituciones de Crédito tightened concession requirements and began consolidating issuing privileges.
Perkins Bacon printed the plate using their characteristic fine-line security engraving — the same technique they applied to postage stamps — making crude counterfeiting genuinely difficult for its time.
