| Obverse description | Printed in red-orange on cream paper, the obverse is framed by an elaborate architectural border with Corinthian pilasters at each side and foliate ornamentation along the top. The centre field carries a large numeral '1' in deep red, flanked on either side by the denomination 'FRANC', set against a guilloche underprint of repeating circular medallions bearing a heraldic device. The issuer's title 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'AGEN' arches across the upper portion, with the date '14 JUIN 1917' in a cartouche at the base, and the manuscript signatures of the President and Treasurer appear above the serial number. |
