| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in fine intaglio engraving with a classical composition. At left, an oval vignette contains a bust portrait of a young man in early 19th-century attire, framed by elaborate foliate scrollwork; at right, a seated allegorical female figure rests against a large shield with cornucopia motifs. The centre bears the bank title in bold gothic lettering over a promise-to-pay clause in Spanish, with the denomination CIEN PESOS set within a decorative panel, and a large red CANCELLED overprint applied diagonally across the central text area. |
