| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Lajos Kossuth at right within a ruled frame, printed in purple-violet. To the left, a vignette of the Hungarian coat of arms flanked by two standing angels. The central panel carries the denomination title in large letterpress type above the issuing authority and date, with three manuscript signatures beneath the titles FŐTANÁCSOS, ELNÖK, and VEZÉRIGAZGATÓ. A light blue guilloche underprint fills the central field, and the denomination repeated in the side borders frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Central vignette of a dove in full flight, wings spread wide, carrying an olive branch in its beak — a symbol of peace — rendered in fine intaglio engraving against a dark ruled background panel. The date 1945 appears beneath the dove vignette, and the numeral denomination is set in a solid panel at the foot of the design. Ornate folk-art-inspired geometric border panels in purple-violet frame both lateral edges, with the denomination legend repeated along all four margins. |
