Obverse description A central vignette presents a traditional thatched-roof hut set against a dramatic mountain landscape, rendered in warm ochre and brown tones against a blue guilloche underprint. A large watermark medallion occupies the left centre field. To the right, an intaglio portrait of a young woman with braided hair is the dominant figurative element, her face rendered in fine line engraving. The date appears at lower left, with dual-language denomination inscriptions in red at top centre and along the lower margin.

Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a large tribal mask vignette to the left, rendered in intaglio with bold sculptural detail, and balanced on the right by a seated carved wooden figure. The central field carries a composite transport vignette comprising a jet aircraft, freight railway wagons, and construction or agricultural machinery, evoking themes of economic modernisation. A geometric chevron border in blue and pink frames the entire composition, with the denomination numerals in red at upper left and right.
