| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of a rural coffee-harvesting scene with figures working among trees, rendered in intaglio and set within an oval frame. To the left, the coat of arms of Guatemala appears within a circular medallion, flanked by intricate guilloche borderwork; to the right, a quetzal bird is printed within a decorative panel. The bank title BANCO DE OCCIDENTE EN QUEZALTENANGO arches across the upper portion, with the denomination CIEN PESOS and the promise to pay legend PAGARÁ AL PORTADOR EN MONEDA EFECTIVA inscribed below the central vignette. |

The inscription BANCO DE OCCIDENTE flanks the central numeral horizontally, with EN QUEZALTENANGO in a panel below, and the denomination 100 repeated vertically in the side margins. |
