| Obverse description | Printed entirely in green on cream paper, the obverse carries the issuer's title across the upper portion flanking a central oval vignette with a foliate cartouche. Two allegorical female figures in classical dress stand as lateral vignettes on either side of the central text panel, which bears the large denomination legend UN FRANC within a decorative frame. The lower portion includes the reimbursement clause dated 4 June 1920, two manuscript signature spaces for the President and Treasurer, and the printer's imprint at the foot, all set against a fine guilloche watermark underprint. |
