| Obverse description | Green and cream note with an ornate guilloche border incorporating acanthus-leaf corner vignettes and repeating geometric motifs. The central field carries a dotted cartographic vignette of the region, marking the departments of Allier, Puy-de-Dôme, Corrèze, Cantal and Haute-Loire with town names printed in red, flanked on either side by the bold denomination UN FRANC; two manuscript signatures below the map are attributed to the Trésorier and the Président, with series and serial number at the foot. A repeated text underprint reading REGIONECONOMIQUEDUCENTRE runs throughout the field. |
