| Rückseitenbeschreibung | Printed entirely in red-orange on white paper, the reverse is dominated by a large central vignette of the Ecuadorian national coat of arms — an oval shield with a condor atop, set within an elaborate symmetrical guilloche frame. Flanking panels carry the denomination numeral 5 and the word SUCRES repeated within ornate lathe-work borders. The bank name EL BANCO DEL PICHINCHA is inscribed across the top of the central panel, and the overall design is executed in dense geometric lathe-work typical of the period. |

| Anmerkungen |
Banco del Pichincha was founded in Quito in 1906, making this among the earliest notes it ever issued. Waterlow & Sons supplied the printing, as they did for dozens of Latin American institutions during this period — the bank had little choice but to contract abroad, since no Ecuadorian facility could produce security-printed currency of acceptable quality at the time.
Ecuador's banking system in 1907 was fragmented, with several private banks holding note-issuing privileges simultaneously. The Pichincha's early notes competed directly with those of the Banco Comercial y Agrícola de Guayaquil, an institution that would later become notorious for its role in Ecuador's catastrophic monetary crisis of the 1920s.
