| 正面描述 | 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. |

| 背面描述 | 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. |

| 备注 |
Clipperton Island has no permanent population, no central bank, and no currency — it is an uninhabited French possession in the Pacific administered directly from Paris, with an economy consisting entirely of crab. The "Banque de l'Atoll de Clipperton" does not exist and never has. This is a fantasy note in the strict numismatic sense: a privately produced piece with no issuing authority, no legal tender status, and no connection to any monetary system past or present.
Franck Medina has produced similar fantasy issues for other uninhabited or micro-jurisdictions. The watermark inclusion is a deliberate quality signal aimed at collectors who prefer their fantasies to feel plausible.
