| Obverse description | Central vignette presents a standing figure of Vasco da Gama at left and a Polynesian man holding a paddle at right, with sailing ships rendered at lower centre. The composition is executed in an elaborate intaglio style characteristic of late 19th-century French colonial banknote engraving. Bank name and bilingual denomination inscriptions appear in the surrounding border alongside the engravers' credits. |
