| Obverse description | The obverse of this 1912-dated Austro-Hungarian note, revalidated in 1919 for Austrian use, is printed in green and pink on the right half with an Art Nouveau-style oval vignette containing a female portrait in three-quarter view, surrounded by elaborate foliate guilloche work and corner ornaments. The left half carries the denomination legend HUNDERT KRONEN in bold letterpress, the issuing authority text, and the date WIEN 2. JÄNNER 1912, with a large red rectangular overprint reading DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH superimposed over the double-headed eagle underprint. Three facsimile signatures appear below the bank name, and the denomination is rendered in multiple languages of the former empire along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially identical in design to the obverse, printed in green and pink, with the same Art Nouveau oval female portrait vignette at right set within an intricate guilloche border, flanked by symmetrical foliate ornaments. The left panel repeats the HUNDERT KRONEN inscription, the bank's payment clause, and the date WIEN 2. JÄNNER 1912, but without the DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH overprint, retaining only the underprinted double-headed eagle in red. The multilingual denomination panel appears once more along the lower margin, and the anti-counterfeiting warning DIE NACHMACHUNG DER BANKNOTEN WIRD GESETZLICH BESTRAFT is inscribed within a cartouche at lower right. |
