Obverse description	The upper margin bears the issuer title 'COMITE BANCARIO DE GUATEMALA' in bold letterpress, with the date '15 de Abril de 1899' at upper right. The central field presents the Guatemalan coat of arms flanked by two seated allegorical female figures amid maritime and classical motifs in fine intaglio engraving, with oval vignettes in the lower corners — a steamship at left and a steam locomotive at right. Below the central imagery, the denomination inscription reads 'Vale por UN PESO de recibo en todas las oficinas de recaudacion i pago de la Nacion,' accompanied by manuscript signatures and a handwritten countersignature.

Reverse description	Printed in warm reddish-brown ink, the reverse is dominated by an intricate engine-turned guilloche underprint with the legend 'UN PESO' across the upper field and 'COMITE BANCARIO DE GUATEMALA' across the centre, surrounded by fine lathe-work patterns and rosette ornaments. Numeral '1' counters are placed within decorative cartouches at each of the four corners. The design is entirely geometric, with no pictorial vignettes.
