Obverse description The obverse presents an engraved baroque vignette at upper centre with a classical allegorical figure flanked by two smaller figures, framed by ornamental cartouches and foliate scroll borders. Two oval unprinted medallion frames are positioned to the left and right of the central vignette, with a circular inked stamp visible at upper right dated 1805. The lower portion carries manuscript text in Portuguese script identifying the note as an apólice of the Real Erário for one thousand two hundred reis, referencing the decree of 2 April 1805 and dated Lisboa, followed by two handwritten signatory lines.

Reverse description The reverse is largely plain paper showing the natural aged patina of the stock, with fold lines creating a quadrant pattern across the surface. Several lines of manuscript handwriting in period cursive script appear at upper right and lower right, with additional partial notations at centre, consistent with administrative endorsements or transfer inscriptions typical of early Portuguese treasury obligations.
