The series designation and serial number appear in boxed panels at the upper left and upper right respectively, while two manuscript signatures are placed at the lower portion above their printed titles: Styrets formann (Chairman of the Board) and Kontorsjef, Spitsbergen (Office Manager, Spitsbergen). |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on plain off-white paper, entirely unadorned save for the large denomination numeral '100 kr.' rendered centrally in bold green letterpress with a double-line inline effect. The absence of any further design elements or text gives the reverse a stark, utilitarian character consistent with the note's function as a company wage scrip. |
