| Obverse description | Plain typeset note with a chain-link border running along all four edges. The monogram "C.R." (Cakobau Rex) appears at the top centre, flanked by handwritten serial numbers at upper left and upper right, with the place and date of issue "Levuka" inscribed below. The denomination "12½ Cents" is printed in large type at the left and repeated at the right, beneath which appears the Fijian-language text "Ai vola ogo sosomi ni lavo Vakacaracara Vaka Viti"; two manuscript signature lines appear at the foot of the note. |
