Obverse description	Allegorical vignette with elephant columns flanking the left and right borders, with reclining female figures accompanied by an ox and a tiger at the bottom. The intaglio-engraved design reflects the academic French style of the period, attributed to Bramtot and Duval with engraving by Wullschleger. Bilingual text in French and Chinese characters appears within the note's layout.
Obverse lettering	A. BRAMTOT ET G. DUVAL-FEC. CH.WULLSCHLEGER SC.
