| Obverse description | Bicolour note printed in blue and red with black serial numbers. The colonial coat of arms of British Honduras is positioned at the top centre, flanked by ornate guilloche underprint work. The text of the promise to pay is set in letterpress across the face of the note. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design composed of three large interlocking rosette medallions, filled with fine engine-turned geometric patterns. The word BRITISH appears in a cartouche within the left medallion and HONDURAS in the right, set against a dense, symmetrical floral and scroll surround covering the full face of the note. |
