| Obverse description | At centre, an intaglio oval vignette presents a classical male bust in left-facing profile rendered in the antique manner against a finely hatched background, framed above and to the sides by a bold Greek key guilloche border and along the lower edge by a stylised acanthus leaf ornament. Bilingual inscriptions in Italian and Greek run across the upper and lower margins, identifying the note as legal tender for the Ionian Islands, with the denomination DRACME 100 / ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ centred below the vignette. A facsimile treasurer's signature beneath the title IL TESORIERE appears at lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is centred on a large lathe-work guilloche rosette enclosing the numeral 100, set within a rectangular frame of acanthus scroll and egg-and-dart moulding. A Greek key meander border runs along all four sides, with stylised floral boss ornaments at each corner and the numeral 100 repeated in each corner panel against a plain ground. |
