| Obverse description | Central vignette to the left presents a stone bas-relief of an Apsara, the celestial dancer of Khmer iconography, with the silhouette of Angkor Wat rendered as a background underprint. A dancer figure appears in the foreground, lending the composition a layered, artistic depth characteristic of colonial-era Indochinese notes. The engraved title inscription and denomination appear within the surrounding border, with the printer's credit to G. Barrière and IDEO Hanoi noted at the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a rural village scene with Asian elephants, evoking the agrarian and cultural landscape of Indochina. The denomination is rendered in four scripts — Lao, Khmer, Vietnamese, and Chinese — reflecting the multilingual administrative territory of French Indochina. The composition is framed by a simple guilloche border typical of small-format emergency and auxiliary currency issues of the period. |
