| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in Chinese characters on a pale grey guilloche underprint, with the denomination expressed as one hundred silver dollars (銀壹百元) at upper and lower registers. Columns of Chinese text identify the issuing bank as the Banque de l'Indo-Chine (東方匯理銀行) and include formulaic promise-to-pay and bearer inscriptions. Repeated ghost-printed denomination text in Latin script forms a subtle underprint across the centre of the note. |
