| Reverse description | A large central vignette rendered in intaglio presents a view of an oriental domed building — identifiable as the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem — set within an arched architectural frame with decorative tilework, flanked by cypress trees and open courtyard.

The bank name and denomination title are inscribed across the upper portion in French. |
