The denomination FIVE SHILLINGS is set in bold letterpress within a guilloche panel at centre, with the fractional value 5/- repeated at each side; the date line reads 10th January 1928, and two manuscript signatures of the Directors of Currency appear at lower right above the printed authority line. |
