| Obverse description | Green and cream note enclosed within a decorative wave-pattern border in dark brown. A large teal guilloche vignette at centre depicts a silhouette of a medieval fortified tower or gateway, set against a fine letterpress underprint repeating the issuer's name across the field. The denomination UN FRANC is printed in bold black capitals across the centre, with the issuing authority CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE BÉZIERS and the authorising deliberation date at the top, signature lines for the Trésorier and the Président at lower left and right respectively, and the redeemability clause at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Green and cream reverse with a fine guilloche underprint repeating the issuer's name across the entire field, enclosed by a plain green rectangular border with a subtle wavy inner frame. A large central vignette of grapevine foliage and bunches of grapes — emblematic of the Béziers wine-producing region — frames the denomination UN FRANC in bold green capitals. A circular intaglio chamber of commerce seal bearing the arms of Béziers appears at lower left, and the Béziers civic shield is printed in outline at upper left. The redemption clause and printer's credit appear in smaller text within the composition. |
