Obverse description	At centre, an oval-framed classical portrait bust — traditionally identified as a Roman or Dacian historical figure — is flanked on either side by the numeral denomination "1.000.000"; the issuing authority "BANCA NATIONALA A ROMANIEI" runs along the upper border, with "GUVERNATOR" and "CASIER CENTRAL" positioned above two manuscript signatures below the vignette. The bold legend "UN MILION LEI" spans the lower portion of the face, the whole composition enclosed within a fine guilloche border frame.

Reverse description	At left, two male peasant figures in traditional Romanian folk costume stand holding agricultural implements; at right, two women and a child in regional attire form a complementary group. The Romanian state coat of arms, encircled by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a royal crown, occupies the central axis. The country name "ROMANIA" appears at the upper border and the denomination "1.000.000" is set within a panel at the lower centre, the entire composition enclosed by an intricate guilloche border.
