| Obverse description | Letterpress-printed note within a decorative black border composed of guilloche scrollwork, fleur-de-lis ornaments, and diamond-shaped cartouches at the sides. The central field carries the large typeset legend in a combination of roman and italic letterforms, with two oval vignette tablets at the bottom — the left inscribed 'Cinq Liv.' with the engraver's name 'GATTEAUX' below, and the right bearing the numeral '5' flanked by floral devices. A handwritten serial number and manuscript signature appear in the central area. |
