The front of the banknote features a portrait of D. Nuno Álvarez Pereira on the right side, with green and multicolor elements. The back showcases a woman with a globe to the left, in blue-green and red tones. Printed by Bradbury Wilkinson and Company, 10,000,000 notes were produced without a printer's imprint.
