Obverse description Animated market scene vignettes in intaglio occupy the left and right panels, with figures in traditional Indochinese dress engaged in trade and daily activities set against a warm reddish-orange underprint. The central field carries the bold letterpress denomination 'CENT PIASTRES' beneath the bank title 'BANQUE DE L'INDOCHINE' running across the top, with three signature lines for bank officials positioned along the lower margin. A green guilloche border frames the entire composition, and the engraver's credit 'G. BARRIÈRE DEL & SC.' appears in the lower portion.
