The central text panel carries the issuer legend "THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT" above the large denomination numeral "1/4 RUPEE" in bold letterpress, flanked by red serial letter prefix "BQ" on either side. An elaborate guilloche border frames the entire face, with the fraction "1/4" repeated in each corner, and Japanese kanji text — reading "大日本帝國政府大臣臧" (Imperial Government of Japan, Minister of Finance) — running along the lower border.
