| Obverse description | Olive-green letterpress bon communal printed on cream paper, with an elaborate guilloche border framing the entire face. The city arms of Lille — a crowned heraldic shield — appear as a central vignette at the top, flanked by the large serif inscription VILLE DE LILLE on a scrolled ribbon. The denomination DIX FRANCS is set in bold white letters on a dark rectangular panel at centre, below which appear the authorising deliberation text dated 31 August 1914 and two manuscript signatures above the printed titles Le Receveur Municipal and Le Maire. |

| Reverse description | Printed in red-pink on cream paper, the reverse carries the crowned arms of Lille in the upper-left and lower-right corners, with circular numeral medallions bearing the figure 10 at the lower-left and upper-right. A large central oval cartouche encloses the anti-counterfeiting warning text citing Article 139 of the Code Pénal. A dry embossed control stamp of the Ville de Lille is applied at centre, validating the bon, with a further legend along the lower margin. |
