The obverse features a peasant woman seated on sheaves, holding a sickle in her right hand, with a green double-headed eagle at the center. The reverse displays a decorated frame with double-headed eagles. The note measures 204 × 108 mm and was printed by the Bank of Italy (Banca d'Italia) in Rome.
