| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is arranged within an octagonal frame with decorative corner vignettes at all four corners, each containing allegorical figures. The central text panel carries the issuer's name in copperplate script, the promise-to-pay legend, and the denomination 'DEZ MIL REIS' in bold letterpress, with the place and date 'Lisboa' below. Serial numbers appear at lower left and right flanking a central numerical underprint, with manuscript signatures across the lower portion of the note. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely engraved guilloche background of dense lathe-work in pale blue-grey tones, within which a central octagonal panel bears the mirrored text 'BANCO DE PORTUGAL' and the numerical value '100000' in large open lettering. The overall design is understated, relying entirely on the intricate engine-turned patterns for visual security, with a handwritten number visible in the upper right corner. |

The 100.000 Réis was the highest denomination Banco de Portugal produced in this period — a note whose value was so large it functioned almost exclusively as an instrument of commercial settlement between merchants and financial houses rather than anything approaching everyday use. Most Portuguese at the time had never seen, let alone handled, one.
Printing in Lisbon rather than London or Paris was a deliberate institutional choice, keeping production under close domestic supervision, though it meant the engraving quality could not match what firms like Perkins Bacon were simultaneously producing for other European issuers.
The guilloche underprint was the primary anti-counterfeiting measure — a meaningful limitation given the denomination at stake.
