| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a panoramic mountain landscape in detailed line-engraved style, with a winding road at the foot of a dramatic rocky peak; a truck marked WG travels along the road through the valley. Large ornate numeral panels flank the central scene at left and right, and a guilloche border runs along the lower edge. |

| Comments |
The Bank of Whitman was a real institution — a small state-chartered bank in Colfax, Washington, that failed in 1969 — but this note is not one of its issues. "100 000 Bucks" novelty notes of this type are printed souvenirs, produced commercially for the gag gift and tourist trade, with no monetary status whatsoever. The deer-pun denomination is the giveaway.
