| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in red-brown on pale paper, the obverse carries a central vignette of a Kanak native paddling a dugout canoe amid palm trees at left, evoking the Pacific colonial landscape. A guilloche-pattern border with repeating oval ornaments frames all four sides, with the denomination numeral "1" placed in each corner. The authority inscriptions, decree date, denomination in large script, two manuscript signatures, and the date "Nouméa, le 13 Janvier 1919" are arranged across the central field. |

| Opmerkingen |
Trésorerie de Nouméa issued these small emergency notes during the acute coin shortage that followed World War One, when metallic currency virtually stopped reaching New Caledonia from metropolitan France. The reverse carries a three-line penal warning — a response to the forgery problems that had plagued earlier local issues in the territory, and an unusually emphatic legal inscription for a note of this denomination.
The distinction between the two reverse types in this series matters for cataloging: earlier impressions omit the third warning line entirely, making the three-line variant the more precisely datable of the two.
