The issuing authority inscription appears across the top, with the denomination in Hungarian set in large display typeface at centre, and a three-line legal tender and anti-counterfeiting warning in smaller text below.

The year '1944' is printed in a central banner at the foot of the design, flanked by small asterisk ornaments. |
