Obverse description Brown-toned note with a vignette of Mercury at left, a row of three crowned civic arms — those of Surabaya, Batavia, and Semarang — set within laurel wreaths at top center, and a portrait vignette of Jan Pieterszoon Coen in period ruffled collar at right. The main legends and denomination text are rendered in intaglio, with a fine guilloche underprint underlying the central field. The overall composition is framed by ornate typographic borders characteristic of Enschedé's late-nineteenth-century engraving style.

Reverse description Violet and brown bicolour note whose central field is occupied by a four-language anti-counterfeiting legal notice printed in Dutch, Javanese (in Hanacaraka script), Chinese, and Malay (in Jawi script). The text panels are arranged within a structured typographic layout framed by guilloche border work, with the denomination repeated in each language block. The restrained decorative scheme is consistent with Enschedé's utilitarian reverse designs of the period.
