Obverse description At left, a letterpress vignette of a kneeling figure beneath a portrait bust; at centre, the denomination in letterpress text flanked by two dry-embossed treasury seals; at right, a vignette of an armoured figure accompanied by a lion. The note carries a manuscript date and handwritten inscriptions in the tradition of period Piedmontese treasury issue practice, on aged cream paper with toning consistent with its late eighteenth-century origin.
