Obverse description Dark olive-green intaglio print on a guilloche underprint. At centre, a large numeral '1' vignette within an ornate scalloped frame, flanked to the left by a tree vignette and to the right by an engraved view of the Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador's new building, captioned accordingly. The bank title arcs across the top, with serial number and series letters repeated at left and right, three facsimile signatures along the lower portion, and the promise-to-pay text in a decorative cartouche below the central numeral.
