Obverse description Green on multicolour underprint. A portrait vignette of the Portuguese explorer João de Santarém appears at right, with the bank seal at centre. The note is an overprint on the earlier Banco Nacional Ultramarino P#40 issue, with the new bank name — Banco Nacional de São Tomé e Príncipe — and the date 1 de Junho de 1976 applied in red letterpress on both sides.

Reverse description Green. A central vignette presents a female allegorical figure alongside ships at sea. The new bank name, updated date, and authorising signatures are applied in red overprint over the original Banco Nacional Ultramarino reverse design, clearly distinguishing the 1976 reissue from the underlying 1964 note.
