Reversbeschreibung	Three conjoined zebu heads facing forward in bold relief, a characteristically Malagasy motif symbolizing wealth and agriculture. The prominent upswept horns of the central zebu frame the denomination 1 FRANC inscribed in the upper field within the arc of the horns. Flanking the zebu heads are two agricultural sprigs — a coffee branch to the left and a rice stalk to the right — representing the island's principal crops. The legend MADAGASCAR curves along the lower periphery. The field is bordered by a decorative wavy inner rim.
