Obverse description The central vignette presents date, value, and issuer text within an ornamental frame enclosed by an oval wreath of grapevines with fruit. To the left stands a draped figure of Libertas, the Roman goddess of Liberty, wearing a diadem and holding a shield, facing right; to the right, a kneeling child supports a cartouche bearing the denomination. Value cartouches appear above and below the central frame, with engraved signatures of the Kassier and Direktor across the lower portion of the design.

Reverse description Three horizontally connected decorative frames form the principal design, with the denomination rendered in three languages — French, German, and Italian — within the central frame. Each of the two flanking circular frames contains a facing inward head of Hermes in profile vignette, executed in fine intaglio engraving. Corner cartouches repeat the numeral value at each of the four angles.
