The denomination '5 F' is displayed in large numerals flanking the lower trunk of the palm. The bilingual circular legend reads 'BANQUE CENTRALE' along the upper periphery and 'CENTRALE BANK' along the lower periphery, each separated by five-pointed stars. The designer's initials 'D.B.' appear in small incuse letters at the base of the palm trunk.
