The face is printed in dark brown and red on a green-tinted guilloche underprint, with the supported Royal Arms vignette at centre, flanked by elaborate red rosette medallions bearing the denomination numeral "100" at left and right. The bank title arches across the top in bold letterpress, with the promise-to-pay clause and incorporation notices in smaller text to either side of the arms. The denomination "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" appears in a recessed panel below the arms, with "DEMERARA / BRITISH GUIANA" at lower left, a serial number at lower right, and the date "1ST APRIL 1932" beneath it; signature lines for Accountant and Manager appear at bottom centre, printed by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co. Ltd., England. |
