Obverse description The face of this assignat-style note is set in letterpress, with the heading LIBERTA EGVAGLIANZA / REP. ROM. framing a central oval vignette of a spread eagle perched on a plinth inscribed BAIOCCHI TRE, flanked by two smaller circular medallions bearing standing allegorical figures inscribed REPUBLICA ROMANA and FEDE PUBBLICA respectively. Manuscript annotations record the year and issue details above, while a handwritten line below reads Vaglia per tutti li Dipartimenti della Rep. Romana, followed by a manuscript serial number. The overall layout reflects the typographic and engraved conventions of late eighteenth-century Roman republican paper currency.

T. RE. and flanked by small foliate sprays. A manuscript signature appears below the stamp, with the remaining surface exhibiting fold lines and toning consistent with circulation use.
