| Obverse description | This provisional cheque is printed in black on an overprinted host note (N° 278611), itself bearing a central vignette of a Native American facing left, with the face value in numerals at all four corners and along the sides, and the denomination in letters below the vignette. Issue place and date appear at lower left and right, with a four-digit black serial number at lower left and two manuscript signatures with titles beneath. A red overprint modifies the face value in both numerals and letters, transforming the original one-sol host into a 50-centavo emergency circulating instrument. |
