| Obverse description | Central vignette with Vasco da Gama standing at left and a Polynesian man holding a paddle at right, with sailing ships at bottom centre. The composition is executed in an elaborate intaglio style with ornate guilloche borders framing the central imagery. Bilingual legends appear in both French and English across the face, with issuer and statutory decree inscriptions surrounding the principal design. |

| 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. |
