| Obverse description | The Kingdom of Italy coat of arms, supported by two lions, anchors the upper center of this dark grey intaglio-printed note, flanked by encircled denomination numerals '250' at upper left and right. The central cartouche carries the legal text, framed below by two reclining allegorical female figures: Industry at left, holding a gear and work tool with a stylized cornucopia at her feet, and Agriculture at right, holding a sickle and sheaf of wheat with a staff of Asclepius nearby; four rhomboid vignettes bearing the heads of Mercury and Bacchus occupy the corner positions, while two small cherubs at center left and right each support an eagle. A light brown guilloche underprint with the denomination '250' fills the text area, and a vertical matrix border at left repeats 'Regno d'Italia' and '250 Lire' in dark grey. |

| Reverse description | A circular portrait vignette of Italia Turrita facing left occupies the center, encircled by woven ribbon bands bearing the denomination '250' and the Consortium inscription, all rendered in dark grey intaglio. The denomination '250' repeats at each cardinal point against a background of radiating wave lines in dark grey, while series and serial numbers appear at the four corners, each set against a dark green guilloche frame incorporating the numeral '250'. Connecting ribbons in dark green with repeated '250' link all elements, and a decorative vertical matrix border at right repeats '250' and 'DUECENTOCINQUANTA' in dark grey. |
