| Obverse description | The obverse is rendered in a classical intaglio engraving style with an elaborate architectural border. Two allegorical female figures stand at left and right flanking a central text panel, with a frieze of putti and garlands running along the lower margin. Two circular orange underprint rosettes flank the central denomination inscription, and a crowned cipher cartouche appears at the top centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a pale, lightly inked format that mirrors the obverse layout in ghost impression, with the central text panel and two circular rosette underprints visible as blind offsets. The overall design is largely unprinted, with faint vertical guilloche patterning visible at the left margin. |
