| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in finely engraved intaglio on a light ground, with the central denomination legend 'mille francs.' in bold italic letterpress, accompanied by an Arabic bilingual inscription below. The heading 'BANQUE DE L'ALGÉRIE' appears at the top, followed by the payment clause 'IL SERA PAYÉ EN ESPÈCES, À VUE, AU PORTEUR', with three signature lines at centre for L'Administrateur, Le Directeur, and Le Caissier. Flanking the central field are classical allegorical figures — a male figure with trident to the left and a female figure to the right — atop ornate pedestals, with additional reclining allegorical figures and decorative vignettes along the lower border, the whole framed by an elaborate guilloché and arabesque border. |
