Obverse description The obverse is printed in dark blue-black with a decorative guilloche border. To the left, a vignette of the Manchukuo national flag — yellow field with a red-blue-white-black striped canton — rises on a flagpole against a lightly shaded background. To the right, an intaglio vignette presents a classical European-influenced bank building, rendered in fine line engraving. The central denomination inscription 壹百圓 (One Hundred Yuan) is set in bold Chinese characters, with the issuing authority legend 滿洲中央銀行 (Central Bank of Manchou) printed vertically at upper right. A red seal impression appears at lower left, and serial numbers are printed in red at upper left and lower right.

Reverse description The reverse is printed entirely in olive-green on plain paper, with an elaborate guilloche framework of interlocking floral and foliate scrollwork forming the central border. The denomination "100 YUAN" appears in bold Roman lettering within ornate cartouches at both the left and right margins. The central field contains multiple vertical columns of Chinese legal text — the note's terms and conditions — set against a fine lathe-work underprint. The overall design is symmetrical and text-heavy, without pictorial vignettes.
