| 表面の説明 | Central intaglio vignette by Dupuis and Duval presents an allegorical group in which a crowned female figure representing France, holding a caduceus, is seated at left beside a kneeling Asian woman, set within an elaborate engraved border with dragon-column motifs at either side. The denomination appears in bilingual form — "ONE DOLLAR" and "UNE PIASTRE" — in large letters at centre right, beneath the bank title "BANQUE DE L'INDO-CHINE" at top. Plate position, series, and branch designation "SAIGON" appear in manuscript-style lettering at upper left, with signature lines for "Un Administrateur" and "Le Directeur" printed below. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse is printed entirely in blue-grey intaglio on a fine guilloche underprint, with a large central field bearing two columns of Chinese characters reading 東方滙理銀行銀壹元正奉本國特諭, flanked symmetrically by the anti-counterfeiting warning in French set within ornate dragon and fret-pattern borders. The denomination "$1" appears in each of the four corners, and a dragon vignette occupies the lower centre below the Chinese text. The designers' credit "DANIEL DUPUIS ET GEORGES DUVAL FEC." is printed in small letters along the lower margin. |

The Banque de l'Indochine was established by French imperial decree in 1875 with a note-issuing monopoly across French colonial territories in Southeast Asia. This issue, produced by the Banque de France's printing workshops in Paris, reflects a deliberate policy decision to keep plate production under metropolitan control rather than allow any local printing capacity in Saigon — a precaution against counterfeiting in a colony where the French administration never fully trusted the infrastructure it had built.
Dupuis was one of the most decorated medallists of the Paris Mint; his involvement here is the same arrangement used for French metropolitan small-denomination coinage of the period. Léveillé's engraving work is consistent with Banque de France intaglio standards of the 1880s–90s.
The dual denomination — Dollar and Piastre — reflects the note's function across both the Straits dollar zone and the French piastre system simultaneously.
