| Obverse description | The upper portion of the obverse carries a finely engraved central vignette of two allegorical female figures flanking a crowned heraldic shield, set against a harbour scene with sailing vessels; ornate guilloche columns with crossed torches and wheat sheaf motifs frame both sides. Two oval intaglio portrait medallions occupy the left and right mid-fields — a male figure in a feathered hat on the left, a laurel-wreathed female on the right — above a large pale rose-tinted guilloche underprint bearing the numeral "100". The bank name "SKÅNES ENSKILDA BANK" is inscribed in bold letterpress across the centre, with the denomination "ETT HUNDRA KRONOR" and the redemption clause "inlöser vid anfordran denna sedel med" printed above the place and date "Malmö 1876"; a SPECIMEN overprint and cancellation holes are present on this example. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed entirely in olive-brown and pale orange tones, with an elaborate engine-turned guilloche framework filling the entire field and repeated "100" numerals running along all four borders. Two matching oval medallions, each bearing a left-facing classical female portrait in intaglio, are positioned symmetrically at left and right centre, flanked by intricate lace-like rosette panels. The bank name "SKANES ENSKILDA BANK" arcs across the upper centre above the large numeral "100", with the denomination text "ETT HUNDRA KRONOR" below; cancellation holes are present consistent with the specimen obverse. |
