| Obverse description | A large oval guilloche frame forms the central field, flanked by two intaglio portrait medallions — a male head at left and a female head at right, each turned inward toward the centre. A five-pointed star is positioned at the top centre above the bank name, with decorative foliage and the numeral 5 occupying each outer corner. Signature lines for Le Directeur and Le Caissier appear below the denomination, and a legal text cartouche is placed at the lower centre. |
