| Obverse description | A bearded male figure in 19th-century formal attire stands in high relief before the open door of a railway mail car, gripping the handrail as if about to board. To his left, a luggage trolley loaded with mail bags is depicted in the field. A small engraver's monogram 'dk' appears near the lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a dark, mirror-polished field bearing the emblem of the Universal Postal Union at the top, followed by bilingual inscriptions in English and French commemorating the centenary of the São Paulo/Rio de Janeiro Railroad. A horizontal rule separates the two language sections, and a small mintmaster's mark appears at the bottom of the field. |
