| Obverse description | Portrait vignette of President Roosevelt at left, with an Air Force emblem at right and an embossed seal at centre. The note is dominated by an extensive letterpress text block authorising the issuance of this emergency currency under the command of Major Walter Cushing's guerrilla forces, operating under General MacArthur and President Quezon. The overall design is characteristic of wartime emergency issues, with plain typeset layout and minimal decorative elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is of a simple, utilitarian design typical of wartime emergency currency, with the bold denomination numeral "P100" set in large letterpress type within a dotted rectangular border, itself enclosed within a heavier ruled outer frame. The obverse text is visible in ghost through the thin paper stock. Two faint circular stamps appear at right, likely authentication marks applied in the field. |
