| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in red-orange on white paper. A central oval vignette presents a portrait of a young woman with curled hair and a floral ornament, set against a radiating background.

A scrolled ribbon banner below the vignette bears the legislative authority inscription LEI N.o 111 de 5 de Agosto de 1895. Corner ornaments with floral motifs frame the design, and a sequential number panel runs along the bottom edge. |
