| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | 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. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse, printed in the same red-orange palette, presents a decorative border with cornucopia and scrollwork vignettes at the corners, enclosing a central text panel headed 'REMBOURSABLE AU TRÉSOR PUBLIC' in bold uppercase letters. Below the heading, three paragraphs of redemption and legal tender text are set in letterpress, specifying the note's guaranteed reimbursement at the Trésor Public within five years of issue and its acceptance by public cash offices in the département of Lot-et-Garonne. The date '14 JUIN 1917' appears in cartouches at both the top and bottom of the border, and a watermark underprint of bees is visible through the paper. |

Like hundreds of French chambers of commerce, Agen filled the coin vacuum created by wartime hoarding and metal requisitioning by issuing its own emergency fractional notes. The small-denomination coinage shortage that began in 1914 never fully resolved itself, which is why issues like this one were still being printed and circulated well into the early 1920s — the JP# series for Agen alone runs to multiple types across that window.
The watermark is the one security feature that distinguishes these from outright private scrip, placing them just inside the threshold of quasi-official currency.
