| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of a man wearing a traditional cap occupies the left portion of the note, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint of interlocking geometric diamond patterns in green, blue, and orange. To the right of the portrait, a vignette of two doves in flight flanks the central national coat of arms, with the motto 'TRAVAIL JUSTICE SOLIDARITÉ' on the shield. The upper right bears a colour-shifting optically variable diamond device with the letters 'RG', and the date 'le 1er MARS 1960' appears in the upper centre. |
