| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black intaglio on white cotton paper, with the heading BANQUE NATIONALE in letterpress at the top center, flanked by the serial number and series references. Two large allegorical figures in classical style occupy the left and right margins — a male figure with an anchor or maritime attribute to the left, and a seated female figure to the right — framing the central text panel. The denomination CENT FRANCS is printed in bold letterpress across the center, with the place and date of issue above and the payable-at-sight clause with manuscript signatures below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in a pale grey intaglio underprint, with two seated allegorical female figures in classical dress flanking a central vignette at the upper register that bears the inscriptions SÉCURITÉ and PROGRÈS within a decorative cartouche surmounted by a radiant motif. The composition is light and finely engraved, relying on delicate guilloche patterning across the field. A rectangular cancellation stamp is visible at the lower left. |
