| Obverse description | Central to the design is the large denomination numeral '40' rendered in bold, stylized relief, surmounted by a decorative geometric motif of angular zigzag forms evoking a chevron or mountain pattern. The legend 'BANQUE D'EMISSION' arcs around the upper field, while 'FRANCS' appears beneath the numerals in the lower field. The entire composition is framed by a beaded inner border, with additional angular diamond-shaped ornamental elements positioned at the lower portion of the field, reflecting a modernist Art Deco-influenced aesthetic. |
