Obverse description	Portrait vignette of Vasco da Gama at left, the bank seal at centre, and the colonial arms at upper right, with sailing ships in the right field. A red overprint reading 'LOURENÇO MARQUES' identifies the issuing branch. The design is framed with fine guilloche borders typical of early twentieth-century intaglio banknote production.
