Obverse description Green on light green guilloche underprint with a repetitive 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE TOULOUSE 1917' microtext pattern covering the entire field. At centre, two circular medallic vignettes side by side — the left showing a reclining allegorical figure, the right a sailing vessel — framed above by the issuer's title in bold letterpress and below by a dark cartouche bearing the denomination 'UN FRANC'. Large numeral '1' watermark-style underprints appear at left and right, with the deliberation date 'du 20 Juin 1917' at lower left, emission year '1917' at upper right, and signature lines for 'Le Trésorier' and 'Le Président' flanking the serial number at centre bottom.

A large central oval frame in guilloche encloses the redemption text in cursive script, with a decorative anchor and compass-rose underprint visible within the oval. Below the oval, a line of uppercase letterpress text references the ministerial circular governing the collateral deposit, with the printer's imprint at the lower left and 'TOULOUSE' at the lower right.
