Obverse description Printed entirely in black ink, the obverse bears the bank title in elaborate copperplate script across the top, flanked by the denomination $100 at each upper corner. To the left, an oval intaglio vignette within a ornate foliate border depicts a seated allegorical figure with a crown above. The promise-to-pay text runs across the centre in script, with the denomination repeated in a bold decorative lozenge-shaped guilloche panel at lower left, and signature lines for Manager, Director, and Accountant below, with a perforated SPECIMEN cancellation across the lower right.

Reverse description Printed entirely in red, the reverse is dominated by a large central guilloche rosette of intricate lathe-work geometry composed of overlapping circular and floral engine-turned patterns. Two smaller matching rosette medallions, each bearing the numeral 100, are positioned symmetrically to the left and right of the central design. The printer's imprint appears in small text at the base of the central vignette.
