| Reverse description | Yellow-ochre note enclosed within a double-ruled rectangular border, dominated by a large woodcut-style bust portrait of an elderly military officer turned to the left, rendered in deep navy blue ink with strong tonal contrasts. The subject wears a feathered tricorn hat, military uniform with visible buttons, and a cravat. A grey outer border frames the composition, and a Gothic-script legend appears below the portrait vignette at the foot of the note. |
