Reverse description	The reverse features a frontal zebu head (Malagasy humped cattle) in bold relief at the center, its wide curved horns arching into the upper field where the numeral '1' is prominently displayed. The denomination legend '1 FRANC' appears above and 'IRAIMBILANJA' below the horns within the arc of the horns. Two agricultural sprays flank the zebu head at lower left and right, depicting rice stalks and a fruiting branch, their stems crossed at the base, symbolizing Madagascar's agricultural heritage.
