| Obverse description | Tan and brown intaglio-engraved note with an ornate decorative border. At upper left, a large stylized letter 'B' forms a vertical pillar flanked by allegorical figures in neo-Renaissance style; at lower left a reclining female allegory and at right a standing male figure with caduceus. The centre carries the bold denomination 'CENTO LIRE' above the bearer clause, with two signature lines for the Direttore Generale and the Cassiere, and a red circular vignette at bottom centre bearing a female portrait in profile. An oval watermark area occupies the upper right field, framed by elaborate guilloche scrollwork. |

| Reverse description | Brown and tan intaglio engraving enclosed within a finely ruled geometric border. Two large oval fields dominate the composition: the left oval is a plain watermark reserve, and the right oval contains a vignette of a standing female allegory on a pedestal attended by putti. Between them the numeral '100' is printed in large bold figures, while at lower centre a circular cartouche surmounted by an eagle bears the authorising decree inscription in red. Flanking scroll vignettes below each oval carry groups of reclining figures in a neo-classical style, and the inscription 'LIRE CENTO' appears in the upper margin. |
