The bank title 'EL BANCO DE TACNA' arches across the upper centre in bold lettering, with a rosette medallion at right bearing the denomination '½ / MEDIO SOL'. A promise-to-pay text in Spanish script occupies the central field, above the bold letterpress denomination 'MEDIO SOL' flanking a red serial number at lower left. Signature lines for 'GERENTE' and 'CONTADOR' appear at the lower margin. |
