| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue and red on a white cotton paper ground. A large central vignette to the left occupies roughly half the face, portraying a seated allegorical female figure accompanied by a male figure, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. To the right, an ornate red guilloche rosette carries the numeral '100' as a counterprint, flanked by serial number fields printed in red. The date 'SAN SALVADOR 1º DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 1924' appears in the lower right area, with three manuscript signatures running along the lower margin identifying the Gerente, Presidente, and Cajero. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in olive-green on a white ground, with a large central medallion in intaglio encircled by the bank name 'BANCO OCCIDENTAL' in arched lettering. Within the medallion is a portrait bust of a distinguished male figure in profile, surrounded by fine engine-turned lathe work. Flanking the central medallion, bold numeral '100' panels appear on both the left and right, all set against a dense guilloche underprint background. The imprint 'AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY' appears in small lettering at the lower margin, and a row of cancellation holes is visible along the bottom edge, indicating this is a specimen or cancelled example. |
