Obverse description Red letterpress print on a green guilloche underprint. The central vignette carries a frontal portrait of the Jade Emperor in full traditional imperial regalia. The face value in Chinese characters (伍千萬) appears in both upper and lower margins, with issuer title and serial designations framing the portrait in a layout closely modelled on conventional legal-tender banknote design, adapted here for ceremonial joss paper use.

Reverse description Dark blue print on a lightly tinted background. A temple vignette occupies the left portion of the note, while the denomination in Arabic numerals (50000000) is placed to the right. Bilingual inscriptions in Chinese and English running along the upper and lower margins identify the issuing authority and declare the note's intended otherworldly purpose.
