The bank title 'El Banco Anglo-Peruano' appears in large script lettering across the upper centre, below which the promise text 'pagará a la vista y al portador' is inscribed in cursive. Large numeral '40' vignettes appear at left and right within oval guilloche frames, flanking the central denomination panel 'Cuarenta Centavos' in bold letterpress; the issuance line reads 'Lima é Iquique, Julio 1° de 1875' with two manuscript Directors' signatures above the printed serial number.
