Two allegorical female figures flank the central text panel, which carries the bilingual denomination inscription in French and Arabic above the date and place of issue; a central guilloche vignette with a crowned heraldic shield and griffins occupies the lower portion. The issuer name arches across the top, with signature lines for the Contrôleur and the Caissier Principal below the date line.
