| Obverse description | A dense green guilloche underprint with a repeating vine-leaf motif covers the entire field, over which a central vignette in red-brown intaglio portrays a peasant woman in traditional regional dress sifting harvested grapes into a large wicker basket, evoking the viticultural heritage of the Gers. The denomination '1fr.' is set in an ornate cartouche at upper right, flanked by decorative crossed fasces, while the issuer title, series designation, and redemption text are rendered in letterpress across the upper and lower margins. Two manuscript signatures appear below the printed titles 'Le Trésorier' and 'Le Président' in the lower register. |

| Reverse description | A richly composed allegorical vignette in red and green tones fills the full face within an arched architectural border supported by ornamental urns; the upper register carries a row of five heraldic shields of Gascon towns surmounted by crowns, flanking the interlaced 'CG' monogram of the Chambre de Commerce. A pastoral landscape below shows horses to the left and cattle to the right grazing among trees, with wine barrels, maize, wheat sheaves, and flowering plants arranged in the foreground to symbolise the agricultural wealth of the Gers department. The denomination '1fr.' appears centred within a cartouche at mid-field, with the printer's imprint in the lower margin. |
