| Reverse description | Multicolour vignette spanning the full width of the note with a richly detailed rainforest composition: a keel-billed toucan in flight occupies the upper centre, a jaguar crouches amid tropical ferns in the middle ground, and a large pre-Columbian stone sphere anchors the centre-left. At right stands a carved indigenous stone figure, while a decorative pre-Columbian motif fills the upper-left corner. The printer's imprint "FRANÇOIS-CHARLES OBERTHUR FIDUCIAIRE" appears in small lettering along the lower centre margin. |
