The denomination 2$50 appears in both lower corners against an intricate guilloche background, with the written value enclosed within a central ornamental cartouche framed by scrollwork. The issuer's name arches across the upper margin in bold letterpress.

备注	Bradbury Wilkinson printed this low-denomination note for the Banco de Portugal during a period of severe inflationary pressure that followed Portugal's participation in the First World War. The escudo itself had only been introduced in 1911, replacing the real at 1000:1, and by the early 1920s the new currency was already under strain — the 2$50 note existed largely because the equivalent coin supply had become impractical to maintain in circulation. The "1st print" designation distinguishes it from subsequent Bradbury Wilkinson printings of the same type, differences typically found in minor plate or paper variations rather than any redesign.
