  • Front:
    • A portrait of Rei Amador, a historical figure who led a slave rebellion in the 16th century.
    • An image of a bird, likely the Papagaio-de-São Tomé (São Tomé Parrot), endemic to the island.
    • Text in Portuguese, including "BANCO CENTRAL DE S. TOMÉ E PRÍNCIPE" (Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe), "CINCO MIL DOBRAS" (Five Thousand Dobras), and legal and signatory information.

The dobra was the currency of São Tomé and Príncipe until January 1, 2018, when it was replaced by the new dobra (STD) at a rate of 1000 to 1. São Tomé and Príncipe is an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western coast of Africa. It gained independence from Portugal in 1975 and has since been recognized as one of Africa's most stable and democratic countries.
