| Obverse description | Portrait vignette of Pierre Belain d'Esnambuc (1585–1636), the French trader and colonizer credited with establishing the first permanent French settlement on Martinique in 1635, positioned to the right of centre. The note is an overprint on the Réunion P#44 50 Francs issue, with the "SAINT-PIERRE ET MIQUELON" and "CONTRE-VALEUR DE 1 NOUVEAU FRANC" overprints applied in black letterpress. Guilloche underprint patterns frame the central design, with the designer and engraver credits "W. FEL. FEC." and "HOURRIEZ SC." appearing in the lower margin. |

The "SAINT-PIERRE-ET-MIQUELON" overprint in black letterpress runs along the lower margin, with "LA REUNION" struck through by the overprint process, and engraver credits "W. FEL. FEC." and "G. REGNIER SC." appear at the base. |
