| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a young woman seated at her craft, engaged in traditional basket weaving before a large, intricately patterned basket rendered in intaglio; a decorative wicker vessel forms a secondary vignette at the right margin against a guilloche underprint in deep red. The National Bank of Ethiopia title runs across the top in both Amharic script and Latin lettering, with the denomination and legal tender inscription centred in the lower field. Two serial numbers are printed in red, and a lion's head watermark device occupies the left margin area. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large intaglio vignette of a tractor pulling a plough across an open agricultural field, with rolling hills and trees receding into the middle distance, executed in shades of red against a guilloche underprint. A decorative wicker vessel vignette is positioned at the left margin, while the circular Socialist Ethiopia state seal appears at the right. Denomination numerals occupy each corner, with Amharic lettering running across the top and bottom margins. |
