| Obverse description | A central oval vignette contains a portrait of Sun Yat-sen, printed in brown intaglio over a multicolour guilloche underprint in green, orange, and red; the denomination in Chinese characters occupies the lower centre of the underprint field. Two red official seals flank the lower portion of the portrait, with the bank name in Chinese along the top edge and the denomination repeated in Chinese at all four corners. Serial numbers appear twice, in the upper and lower margins respectively. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette renders the Central Bank of China headquarters building in Shanghai — a multi-storey Western-style structure with a prominent clock tower — in fine intaglio line work within an ornate scrollwork frame. The bank name in English arcs above the building vignette, while the large stylised numeral 2500 occupies the lower panel alongside the denomination spelled out in English on a central banner. Two facsimile manuscript signatures appear at the foot of the note, identified below as General Manager and Assistant General Manager. |
