| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and red-orange on white paper, with an intricate foliate and guilloche border framing the entire design. To the right, a finely engraved intaglio portrait of Takenouchi no Sukune — the legendary Japanese statesman — is set within an oval vignette, with his name inscribed in kanji below. Large red-orange kanji characters reading 軍用手票 (Military Currency) dominate the centre, flanked by the bank title 日本銀行兌換銀券 at the top, denomination medallions in each corner, and two circular anti-counterfeiting legend cartouches at the lower centre. |
