The note itself measured 44 millimeters in height by 33 millimeters in width, though the printed area measured 38 by 27.5 millimeters. It was predominantly green in color. Depicted on the obverse was an image of King Ferdinand I. Displayed on the reverse was the coat of arms of Romania with writing underneath, which promised that counterfeiters would be imprisoned for 5 to 10 years if caught.
