| Obverse description | Printed in olive-green on cream paper, the note presents a central letterpress text panel bearing the issuing authority's name in capitalized serif type above the large denomination UN FRANC, with the date 1915 at the base within a cartouche flanked by oak-leaf ornaments and the printer's imprint at lower right. Two lateral intaglio vignettes frame the composition: at left, a classical female figure in flowing robes stands against a rising sun with radiating lines; at right, a male agricultural worker tends livestock before a rural townscape. A repeated-text underprint bearing the chamber's name runs across the entire face as a security pattern. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, printed in olive-green on cream paper, is arranged as a typeset text field within a double-ruled rectangular border, with the arms of Parthenay in an ornamental shield surmounted by a civic crown and flanked by foliate branches at top centre. Two cartouches at lower left and lower right bear the municipal arms of Bressuire and Melle respectively, each inscribed with the corresponding town name. The text body records the deliberation date of 30 September 1915, the guarantee clause referencing the Banque de France deposit, and the redemption conditions at the Niort branch. |
