| Obverse description | Black letterpress print on a light-blue guilloche underprint, with red serial numbers applied separately. A light-blue official seal is positioned at the upper left, alongside the central text block carrying the full legal and treasury authority inscriptions. The note bears a formal, document-style layout consistent with mid-nineteenth-century colonial treasury issues. |
