| Obverse description | Brown on orange and yellow underprint, with a panoramic intaglio vignette of Windhoek occupying the centre of the note, showing the Christ Church and surrounding colonial townscape against a mountain backdrop.

The denomination in three languages — Afrikaans, English, and German — is displayed in a solid panel at lower centre, with two manuscript signatures above the imprint of Waterlow & Sons Limited, London. |
