| Obverse description | The left portion forms a detachable counterfoil, while the main note body carries the seal of the Banco Nacional Ultramarino, Nova Goa, at centre, set within an elaborate guilloche border with embroidered-style decorative framing characteristic of Bradbury Wilkinson engraving. The legend identifies the issuing authority, denomination, and issue date; the full text reads across the note in a formal typeset arrangement. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries an integral counterfoil at right, while the central vignette presents a classical female figure gazing towards ships at sea, a composition typical of Bradbury Wilkinson's allegorical engraving work of the period. The vignette is flanked on both sides by denomination numerals set within finely executed guilloche panels and embroidered decorative borders. |
