| Obverse description | Printed in black and green, the obverse carries a central harbour vignette of a sailing vessel entering Havana bay before the Morro Castle, flanked by two seated allegorical figures — one holding a cornucopia, the other a staff — with underprint elements including a tobacco plant, palm trees, a sugar mill with smokestacks, and oxen hauling a sugar-cane cart. The denomination and issuing authority appear in bold letterpress within ornate panel borders typical of American Bank Note Company engraving of the period. |
