A repeating microtext border of CUATRO runs along all margins, and the lower panel carries the value inscription VALE CUATRO REALES in bold letterpress. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows a blind-embossed or back-printed impression of the obverse design in pale grey tones, a characteristic of the American Bank Note Company's printing process for this issue, with the full bank name and central coat-of-arms vignette visible in mirror image through the paper. Four cancellation punch holes are present horizontally across the lower central area, consistent with a specimen or cancelled example. |
