| Obverse description | Printed in black, green, and blue, the note carries a central allegorical vignette of a crowned female figure representing Havana, attired in a robe and adorned with earrings and necklace. The denomination numeral "100" appears at the corners within guilloche cartouches, and the text block bears the issuing bank's name and payment obligation in Spanish letterpress. The overall layout follows the formal engraved banknote style typical of Bradbury Wilkinson issues of the 1870s–1880s. |
