| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in letterpress with an ornate outer border of fine repeated geometric units. At upper centre, a crowned heraldic shield vignette flanked by two oval portrait vignettes — a bearded male figure to the left and a uniformed male figure to the right. The promise-to-pay text is rendered in a bold, ribbon-style script band across the centre, with the date, entry number, and a manuscript signature appearing in the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is uniface and largely plain, showing only the aged paper surface with no printed design elements, consistent with the simple production style of early colonial Fijian private bank issues. |
