| Obverse description | Plain paper note of letterpress execution, with two circular vignettes at upper left and upper right — the left bearing the legend REPUBLICA ROMANA around a standing allegorical figure, the right inscribed COMMERCIO UTILE around a seated figure. Between the vignettes sits a small central arms vignette with a spread eagle. The text field is enclosed in a simple rectangular ruled border and carries the handwritten denomination Bᵒ QUARANTA, issuing bank name BANCO DI S. SPIRITO, manuscript date and serial, and the clauses Liberta and Eguaglianza flanking the denomination line, all in period italic script. |
