Obverse description Blue letterpress print on plain paper with black serial numbers and red denomination overprint. The central vignette shows a man guiding a plow drawn by two oxen, flanked on the left by an allegorical female figure holding fruits and a cornucopia and leaning against a disc inscribed with the zodiacal signs for Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, and on the right by a second allegorical female figure holding flowers and a sheaf of wheat. The note is framed by guilloche lathe-work borders typical of American Bank Note Company production.

Reverse description Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by an oval vignette at center containing a detailed engraved view of the Hacienda de San Miguel, rendered with cross-hatched shading to convey the building's facade, arched colonnades, ornate entrance gate, and mountainous backdrop. The vignette is surrounded by intricate guilloche lathe-work scrollwork panels and circular rosette motifs, with monogram cartouches in the upper left and upper right corners.
