The 5 dollar banknote has been issued by the OECS (with the exception of the British Virgin Islands, which uses the US dollar) since 1965.
The note has a width of 145 millimeters by 68 millimeters in height. Its obverse, which is green and violet, features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, a turtle and a green-throated carib. The reverse, which is green and violet as well, displays the Admiral's House, located in Antigua and Barbuda and the Trafalgar Falls, located in Dominica.
For security, the banknote includes a watermark featuring another portrait of the Queen and the letters "ECCB", a silver metallic ink square featuring a fish and the script "ECCB $5", a black security thread, an intaglio over foil reading "ECCB" and, on the back, an iridescent print of various fish, located over the map of OECS member states.
