| Obverse description | A pair of masked boobies (Sula dactylatra) occupy the central vignette, one standing at left and another in flight at right, with a basalt monolith and a French tricolour flag in the background. The design evokes the remote landscape of Clipperton Island, rendered in a naturalistic illustrative style. Denomination numerals appear at both upper corners, with issuing authority inscriptions framing the composition. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette is dominated by a large Clipperton Island land crab (Johngarthia planata) rendered in warm reddish-brown tones, occupying the right foreground on a sandy beach. Behind it, the rusted hulk of a shipwreck rises from the sand at centre-left, set against a blue oceanic horizon. A circular blind-embossed watermark zone at left bears the Medusa head security device. |
