Above the shield is a banner inscribed ILE EUROPA surmounted by a five-pointed star. The legend TERRES AUSTRALES FRANÇAISES arcs along the lower periphery within a beaded border.

Reverse description	The large numeral '1' dominates the central field, with the denomination FRANC inscribed below it. To the left of the numeral stands a stylised coconut palm tree, and to the right a penguin in profile, both rendered in relief as symbolic fauna of the French Southern Territories. A small decorative mint privy mark appears beneath the denomination. The circular legend TERRES AUSTRALES ET ANTARCTIQUES FRANÇAISES runs along the upper periphery, with the date 2024 flanked by decorative stops at the base, all within a beaded border.
