A red repeating underprint of the text "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'ANNONAY" fills the central field, over which the denomination "UN FRANC" appears in bold letterpress within a dark rectangular panel. Below, the city arms of Annonay — a turreted shield in red — are flanked by the facsimile signatures of the Treasurer and President, with the series number at lower left and the note number at lower right.
