| Obverse description | The Greek royal arms appear at upper left alongside the bank's combined heraldic vignette — incorporating the Greek cross and Union Jack — flanked by flags at upper centre, with the bank title in a circular legend reading IONIAN BANK LIMITED in both English and Greek. The denomination ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ ΕΚΑΤΟΝ is inscribed in a bold letterpress panel below the central guilloche, with large numeral 100 counters at left and right. Two manuscript signatures and a date appear in the lower portion, above the printed role designations in Greek. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in terracotta-red on a cream paper ground, centred on a large composite guilloche medallion bearing the inscription BANQUE IONIENNE LIMITED and the denomination 100 FRANCS within concentric lathe-work rings. Four oval numeral 100 counters occupy the cardinal positions around the central vignette, the whole framed by symmetrical foliate scrollwork typical of Perkins, Bacon engine-turned design. |
