| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE UNION FRANÇAISE L.BAZOR G.B. ESSAI 1948 (Translation: French Republic / French Union Trial) |
| Reverse description | Three conjoined zebu heads rendered en face in high relief at the center of the field, a distinctly Malagasy motif emphasizing the island's cultural and agricultural identity. The central horn of the foremost zebu frames the denomination numeral '1' above, with the word FRANC arching over the composition within the horns. Flanking the zebu heads are two decorative plant sprigs — a millet branch to the left and a rice ear to the right — symbolizing the island's principal agricultural produce. The legend MADAGASCAR curves along the lower rim, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border. |
