To the right, a detailed vignette of a mosque with a tall minaret and arched courtyard colonnade is rendered in blue and red.

| Reverse description | The central vignette reproduces a polychrome ancient mosaic from Monastir, in which three Phoenician merchants engage in trade beside a large sailing vessel with billowing sails; a winged figure is perched at the bow of the ship, with marine fauna including a fish and a lobster rendered in the surrounding sea. The denomination is stated in the lower centre and at the lower left and right corners. The bank name runs across the top in a serif letterpress inscription. |
