| Obverse description | Central oval intaglio vignette of Lady Hazel Lavery, seated three-quarter figure draped in a dark shawl with a Celtic harp at her side, set against a landscape background. The note is printed in dark olive-green on a cream ground, with an elaborate guilloche border incorporating Celtic knotwork ornaments at each corner and denomination numerals '100' at all four corners. Two facsimile signatures appear to the right of the vignette, with the denomination '£100' rendered in a decorative cartouche at the lower centre. |

The overall impression is printed in dark olive-green on a pale ground with no reverse lettering. |
