Obverse description	Printed in blue-green on a light paper, the obverse is enclosed within an ornate letterpress border with corner medallions bearing the denomination numeral. At the top centre, a maritime vignette shows crossed anchors and rigging elements, evoking the port identity of Dunkerque. The denomination UN FRANC is set in large bold type across the centre field, above which the issuer inscription CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE DUNKERQUE appears, with a pale guilloche underprint of a ship visible in the background; two manuscript signature lines for the Treasurer and the President of the Chamber of Commerce are placed in the lower portion, with a serial number cartouche at the foot.

Reverse description	The reverse is printed in deep blue with a strongly geometric letterpress design. Two large circular vignettes, each containing the bold numeral 1, are set symmetrically side by side and each anchored by a maritime anchor motif below, referencing Dunkerque's seafaring character. The border is composed of concentric ruled frames with dotted outer edging and flanking foliate oak-leaf sprays at the sides, while the issuer name CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE appears in a ruled panel at the top and DUNKERQUE in a corresponding panel at the bottom.
