Obverse description	Black on yellow and tan underprint, with a cow's head vignette at left center and a seated Mercury figure at right, a sailing ship visible in the background behind her. Red order numbers are printed over the face. The overall layout follows the classic American Bank Note Company style of the period, with intricate guilloche patterns framing the central design elements.
Obverse lettering	EL BANCO AGRICOLA MERCANTIL BANCO FUNDADO POR LEONARDO LACAYO EM 1888 León, Nic. Nov. 6 de 1888. Pagará al portador y a la vista la cantidad de CIEN PESOS EN MOEDA ACUÑADA American Bank Note Co., N.Y.

Reverse description	Printed in brown, the reverse is composed entirely of elaborate engine-turned guilloche work arranged symmetrically around a large central oval cartouche bearing the bank name in bold serif lettering. Denomination numerals "100" appear in smaller oval panels at top center and bottom center, each enclosed within concentric lacy lathe-work borders. Large circular guilloche rosettes occupy the left and right extremities, completing a densely ornamental design typical of American Bank Note Company production of the 1880s.
