Obverse description Black letterpress text on plain paper within a decorative typeset border of repeated ornamental units. The issuer name S. MONTE DELLA PIETÀ DI ROMA appears in large display type across the centre, above the cedola text in italic script stating the obligation to pay the bearer twenty-one Roman scudi at ten giulii per scudo. The denomination VENTUNO is set in an oval guilloche cartouche at mid-field, with the numeral 21 repeated in a separate typeset frame at the top centre. Handwritten endorsements, signatures, a register number, and official manuscript annotations are present across the face.

Reverse description Plain paper reverse printed in black with the denomination numeral 21 and the word VENTUNO repeated multiple times in typeset frames arranged in a grid pattern across the entire surface, serving as a counter-check device. Two handwritten signatures appear at centre, along with scattered manuscript notations. The text shows through from the obverse, giving the note a heavily impressed appearance consistent with letterpress production.
