| Obverse description | Executed in green intaglio over a fine guilloche underprint, the obverse centres on a large ornate numeral '100' flanked by intricate lathe-work panels. An oval portrait vignette at left presents a distinguished gentleman in formal attire, turned three-quarters to the right. The bank name, series, and place of issue appear in the upper and lateral margins, with two manuscript signatures beneath the issuing authority titles at lower centre. |

Large numeral '100' anchors both the left and right margins within elaborate guilloche panels. The bank name and department inscription traverse the upper border, with the denomination in words along the lower margin. |
