| Obverse description | Green typographic vignette in the style of the French colonial postal stamp series, centred on an allegorical seated figure representing Commerce and Navigation after Mouchon's design. The denomination '1F' appears in large numerals at centre, with a red rectangular underprint below bearing the territorial inscription. The overall composition reproduces the standard Groupe type used across French colonial issues. |

| Reverse description | Plain light-toned paper ground with a faint intaglio vignette of a dog in profile facing left, rendered in a minimal linear style typical of emergency notgeld issues. The animal figure occupies the centre of the field with no surrounding border or additional ornamentation, consistent with the austere production standards of this wartime provisional issue. |
