| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an intricate overall design of geometric guilloche patterns and traditional Mauritanian ornamental motifs rendered in shades of purple, red, and gold, with decorative border panels incorporating indigenous textile-inspired geometric vignettes at left and right. The Arabic bank title appears in calligraphic script along the top, while the denomination in Arabic words and numerals occupies the central field alongside the issue date and two manuscript signatures with their Arabic titles. A fine green guilloche rosette underprint is visible in the centre, flanked by repeated numeral panels. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a vignette of a traditional Mauritanian ardin (harp-lute string instrument) at left, while the right side presents a cow standing before the historic Chinguetti Mosque of the Adrar Region, one of Islam's revered holy sites. The composition is framed by the same geometric guilloche border panels seen on the obverse, with the denomination and bank name rendered in French across the upper and lower registers. |
