| Obverse description | Grey and red underprint with black serial numbers printed in letterpress. The colonial coat of arms of British Honduras appears as a central vignette at the top of the note, flanked by fine guilloche ornamental work. The text of the promise-to-pay obligation and issuing authority inscriptions are arranged across the face in a formal Victorian typographic layout. |

| Reverse description | Printed in grey, the reverse is dominated by three large interlocking guilloche rosettes of differing geometric designs arranged horizontally, framed within an elaborately engraved scalloped border with fine lathe-work scrollwork throughout. The word BRITISH appears within a medallion on the left and HONDURAS within a corresponding medallion on the right, each set against densely patterned engine-turned backgrounds. |
