| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Venice appears at the top center, with that of Milan at the bottom center, flanking the central text panel bearing the denomination and issuing authority. An embossed dry seal at lower left incorporates the winged Lion of St. Mark, the heraldic symbol of the Venetian Republic, surrounded by the bank's legend. The note is set within an ornate guilloche border typical of mid-nineteenth-century Italian patriotic emergency issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows the show-through of the obverse guilloche underprint and central denomination panel visible in mirror image through the thin paper stock, with an embossed dry seal at lower left bearing the winged Lion of St. Mark encircled by the issuing authority's legend and the date 1848. The remainder of the surface is otherwise unprinted, consistent with the emergency wartime production of this patriotic note. |
