| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two lateral vignettes flanking a central text panel: on the left, a pastoral Algerian landscape with a palm tree, a figure plowing, and distant hills rendered in fine letterpress; on the right, an allegorical female figure with a ship's prow, evoking maritime commerce. The central panel carries the denomination CINQUANTE CENTIMES in bold type, the title CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'ORAN along the top, signature lines for Le Président and Le Trésorier above the serial number, and an Arabic inscription in the lower right corner. A decorative guilloche border frames the entire note. |
