| Obverse description | Central vignette of Sun Yat-sen facing slightly left, set against a black intaglio-printed ground with a light-blue underprint of Nationalist twelve-pointed sunbursts repeated at left and right. The note is dominated by dark tonal contrast typical of American Bank Note Company engraving, with fine lathe-work borders framing the central portrait. |
