Obverse description The obverse presents the names of nine cities of the Provençal region, each hosting a Chamber of Commerce, arranged in three horizontal lines across the central field: ALAIS, MARSEILLE, and GAP are inscribed prominently in the centre, while the remaining city names — NICE, AVIGNON, NIMES, ARLES, TOULON, and DIGNES — appear distributed around the periphery following the contour of the octagonal flan. The overall layout is purely typographic, with no pictorial device or effigy.

Reverse description The reverse displays the denomination '25c.' and the date '1921' prominently in the central field, enclosed within a raised circular border. The surrounding legend, arranged along the inner edge of the octagonal flan, reads 'CHAMBRES DE COMMERCE' at the top and 'RÉGION PROVENÇALE' at the bottom, with the issuer's name 'THEVENON' appearing as part of the peripheral inscription. The design is strictly typographic, without pictorial motifs, consistent with emergency or chamber of commerce token issues of the period.
