| Obverse description | Printed on rose-red hand-made paper within a repeating arrow-point decorative border in dark ink, the note carries the letterpress title 'Bilet Skarbowy' (Treasury Bill) in copperplate script flanking a central vignette of the Polish royal coat of arms — a crowned eagle with crossed cannon barrels and anchors — with denomination panels '100' at left and 'STO' at right. The body bears a lengthy Polish-language legislative text citing the resolution of the Supreme National Council dated 8 June 1794, beneath which two large block control initials 'B' and 'S' appear, followed by two manuscript authorization signatures and a handwritten serial number. The overall composition is characteristic of the austere emergency-issue character of the Kościuszko Insurrection treasury bills. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, printed on the same rose-red paper, is enclosed by the identical repeating arrow-point border and is largely unadorned. The lower field carries mirror-image block letters 'S' and 'B' in dark ink, while a faint oval watermark device is discernible at centre. The upper field is intentionally blank, consistent with the utilitarian, emergency-issue nature of these insurrection-period treasury bills. |
