| Obverse description | A recumbent lion vignette occupies the upper left, engraved by Ernest Florian after Bellery-Desfontaines, while a port scene with sailing vessels fills the upper right corner. The central field carries the bank title BANQUE DE L'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE in an arched legend above the large denomination text CINQ FRANCS in red letterpress, set against an orange and teal guilloche underprint, with the clause PAYABLES EN ESPÈCES, A VUE, AU PORTEUR below. Two manuscript signatures appear in the centre under the titles Un Administrateur and Le Directeur, with a handwritten date and serial numbers at top and bottom margins. |
