| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central oval intaglio portrait vignette of a bearded male figure, likely a historical explorer or statesman, set against an intricate guilloche underprint in dark blue and black. To the right, a secondary vignette depicts a coastal harbour scene with figures and a sailing vessel, while a red circular cachet inscribed 'BANCO NACIONAL ULTRAMARINO / FILIAL EM S. THOMÉ' is superimposed at centre. The note bears the date 'LISBOA, 1 de Março de 1909', serial numbers in red and black, and printed signature lines at the lower portion above the inscription 'COLONIAS COMMERCIO AGRICULTURA'. |
