| Obverse description | Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse is dominated by a detailed architectural vignette of the Chambre de Commerce building in Amiens, rendered in a neoclassical style with arched windows and sculpted ornamentation. The denomination "1F" appears within a decorative oval cartouche at left, surmounted by a palmette device, while the value "UN FRANC" is set in large bold type to the right. Facsimile signature lines for "LE TRÉSORIER" and "LE PRÉSIDENT" flank the central vignette, with a serial number printed in red at the base, all enclosed within a repeating guilloche border. |

| Reverse description | Printed in blue-grey on cream paper, the reverse is typographically composed with three heraldic shields arranged across the upper portion — the arms of Amiens at centre flanked by those of Doullens and Montdidier — each surmounted by a castellated crown and scrollwork. The denomination "UN FRANC" is set in large letters below the shields, followed by guarantee and redemption clauses in smaller type. The year "1922" is integrated into the central decorative panel, above a mirrored serial number within a laurel cartouche, and the whole is enclosed within a Greek-key guilloche frame. |
