| Reverse description | At right, an architectural vignette rendered in intaglio presents a stylised monumental facade with arched windows and geometric ornamentation in shades of red and violet, evoking Italian Renaissance and Gothic building traditions. At left, a large spiral guilloche rosette with a central floral watermark zone dominates the field, providing both decorative balance and an anti-counterfeiting function. The denomination '100.000' appears in large numerals at upper right, with the serial number printed twice in black at lower left and lower right. |
