Obverse description The obverse carries the issuing authority's title «CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE TARBES» at the head of the note, above the central denomination statement «1 FRANC», with the deliberation date of 7 February 1915 and a repayment deadline of 7 February 1920 inscribed in full. A six-digit serial number is printed in black, with no series letter or watermark present. Two manuscript signatures appear in the lower margin, attributed to the Treasurer and the President respectively.

Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a finely engraved landscape vignette in blue-green, centred on a dramatic mountain peak — likely the Pic du Midi de Bigorre — framed by pine forests with a winding road and a motor vehicle in the foreground. The validity dates «1915 × 1920» appear in a cartouche at upper left, with the denomination «1fr» set within a circular frame at upper right. A legend along the lower margin specifies that the note must be presented for reimbursement at the Tarbes branch of the Banque de France before 7 February 1920, and the printer's imprint «L. CASSAN AINÉ TOULOUSE» runs vertically along the left edge.
