| Obverse description | Portrait vignette of La Bourdonnais (Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais) in 18th-century dress occupies the left portion of the note, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. To the right, an allegorical group of two figures — an African woman and a man with tropical produce — appears against a lightly tinted underprint. The central area carries the overprinted denomination 'CONTRE-VALEUR DE 1 NOUVEAU FRANC' over the original 'CENT FRANCS' value, with the territory names GUADELOUPE, GUYANE, and MARTINIQUE inscribed along the vertical margins. |

A decorative cartouche in the lower left contains the statutory counterfeiting warning text, flanked by ornamental guilloche elements.
