| Reverse description | Printed in dark green intaglio throughout. A central vignette presents an engraved view of a columnar monument topped with a standing figure, set within a landscaped plaza with trees and an ornamental iron fence. Intricate guilloche rosettes flank the central vignette on both sides, with the numeral 100 rendered in a lathe-work medallion at right, and the bank title arching across the upper border. A red SPECIMEN overprint is applied diagonally across the face, and the printer's imprint appears at the lower center. |
