| Obverse lettering | BANQUE DE L'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE Vingt-Cinq Francs PAYABLES EN ESPÈCES, À VUE, AU PORTEUR Un Administrateur Le Directeur Le Caissier CONAKRY 12 Février 1920 |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a pale olive-grey intaglio, with the entire surface covered in intricate geometric and arabesque ornamental panels in a Moorish style, engraved by Georges Duval. All text is rendered in Arabic script, with the issuer's name across the top, the denomination repeated in the upper left and right panels, and additional inscription panels arranged symmetrically around a central hexagonal reserve. The dense interlaced border patterns reflect the note's intended circulation in French West African territories with significant Muslim populations. |
