Obverse description	The obverse is laid out as a bond-style apólice, with the title APÓLICE DO ESTADO DE ALAGOAS in bold letterpress at upper centre and THESOURO DO ESTADO DE ALAGOAS above a state arms vignette at left, which includes an eagle and the inscription BRAZIL. The denomination 200 REIS appears in the four corners and along the top and bottom borders in a guilloche-framed surround, with manuscript and typeset text in the central field referencing Empréstimo 500:000$000 at 6% annual interest, dated by law of 5 de Agosto de 1895, and a handwritten signature across the lower centre. A detachable coupon strip at the foot lists annual interest payment coupons from 1896 to 1905, each marked 12 REIS.

Reverse description	The reverse carries a central oval vignette with a portrait of a woman with long curly hair set within a decorative floral and scroll border. The inscription ESTADO DE ALAGOAS runs across the top, and the denomination 200 REIS is displayed in bold type flanking the portrait at centre. A curved banner below the vignette bears the legislative reference Lei Nº III de 5 de Agosto de 1895, while a sequence of numerals from 10 to 1 appears along the lower margin, likely serving as a coupon numbering guide.
