| Obverse description | The obverse bears a central vignette with a detailed engraved panoramic view of Béziers, showing the city's hillside skyline with the Cathedral of Saint-Nazaire visible above the River Orb. To the left, an allegorical female group in classical style is seated, whilst to the right stands a winged male figure holding a caduceus, both rendered in fine letterpress. The denomination "10 FRANCS" is printed in red at centre, with the series and serial number in the lower left, and the issuer's title in bold Gothic lettering across the top. |

| Reverse description | The reverse repeats the principal design elements of the obverse — the central engraved cityscape of Béziers, the flanking allegorical figures, and the issuer's title in Gothic lettering across the top — but lacks an individual serial number, carrying only the series letter. The denomination "10 FRANCS" appears in red at centre, with the acceptance clause and liability notice printed in small type along the lower margin. The overall composition mirrors the obverse, confirming the note's use as a negotiable commercial voucher. |
