| Obverse description | Brown intaglio-printed note with the large central inscription "vingt-cinq francs" in bold letterpress. The header reads "BANQUE DE LA MARTINIQUE" above the promise-to-pay clause "IL SERA PAYÉ EN ESPÈCES, À VUE, AU PORTEUR". Two circular vignettes flank the text — each containing dense legislative or regulatory text — with ornate guilloche borders at top and bottom; three manuscript signature lines appear in the lower portion for the Directeur, Caissier, and Censeur, with serial number and series indicator repeated in the upper and lower margins. |
