| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper. At left, a classical allegorical female figure stands holding a scroll inscribed 'CAPITAL B.1.250.000', with the Venezuelan coat of arms in the lower left corner. A central oval vignette contains a portrait of a young woman in three-quarter view, surrounded by intricate guilloche work, with the large numeral '400' rendered in ornate script to either side. The bank title 'BANCO DE MARACAIBO' arcs across the top, with 'COMPAÑIA ANONIMA' below it, and the place and date 'Maracaibo, de 189_' inscribed beneath. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a warm tan/brown tone and consists entirely of elaborate lathe-work guilloche patterns. A large, symmetrically arranged engine-turned design fills the entire field, with four ornate floral medallions at the corners and a central panel bearing the numeral '400' in white relief within the interlocking geometric network. No pictorial vignettes are present; the decorative effect relies solely on the complexity of the machine-engraved patterns. |
