| Obverse description | Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse is framed by a decorative border of crossed laurel branches. The municipal coat of arms of Saint-Omer — a shield surmounted by a crown and flanked by olive branches — occupies the upper centre, with the issuer's name 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE SAINT-OMER / PAS-DE-CALAIS' repeated symmetrically on either side. Two circular guilloche medallions flank the large central denomination text 'UN FRANC', the left inscribed with the approval notice of the Administration Supérieure and the right stating the guarantee of deposit at the Banque de France; signature lines for the Trésorier and the Président appear at lower left and right respectively, with the serial number and printer's imprint at the foot. |
