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. |

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. |

The Ionian Bank was a British-chartered institution founded in 1839, originally serving the then-British protectorate of the Ionian Islands. By the time this note was issued, the islands had long since unified with Greece — 1864 — but the bank retained its right of private note issue in Greece, one of several such privileges it held under successive arrangements with the Greek government. That anomaly of a British bank circulating currency on Greek soil persisted well into the twentieth century.
Perkins, Bacon & Petch produced work of consistently high intaglio quality, and their plates for the Ionian Bank series were among the more technically accomplished private-issue printings of the period.
