Below, printed signature titles for Le Secrétaire and Le Vice-Président appear above two manuscript signatures, with the series letter, serial number, and emission mention 'Huitième Émission' at foot alongside the printer's imprint.

Reverse description Uniform orange letterpress on cream paper, the field enclosed within an octagonal panel surrounded by floral corner ornaments and a scrollwork outer border. The panel is entirely devoted to the guarantee and redemption text, rendered in flowing italic type, attesting that the bons are exchangeable in multiples of ten against Banque de France notes and that repayment is secured by an equivalent deposit held at the Banque de France in the name of the Chambre de Commerce du Tréport. A faint orange underprint of the denomination and issuer's name is visible beneath the text panel.
