| Obverse description | Printed in black on white paper, the obverse is framed by a fine engraved border with ornate corner pieces. Three oval guilloche vignettes bearing the denomination numeral 100 are positioned across the upper register, flanking a central heraldic vignette of St. George and the Dragon with a lion, shield, and royal standard. Below, the promise-to-pay text is rendered in copperplate script, with manuscript spaces for date and place of issue reading Edinburgh, and a SPECIMEN overprint appears in the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially plain white paper with minimal printed content, consistent with early nineteenth-century Scottish banknote practice. Faint embossed or impressed marks are visible in the right-centre area, likely remnants of a dry seal or validation stamp. The surface shows age-related toning and foxing consistent with the note's antiquity. |
