| Obverse description | A classical allegorical female figure, identified as Bacchus, is rendered in intaglio at right, wearing a grape-leaf crown and resting alongside a ram at centre. A red overprint in the upper left reads the revalued denomination of 5 Nouveaux Francs against the original face value of 500 Francs, within a decorative guilloche panel. The bank title, serial numbers, date, and legal warning appear in letterpress across the note. |

| Reverse description | An antique mosaic-style vignette in intaglio portrays two male figures engaged in agricultural labour — one appears to be cutting or pruning vegetation, the other assisting amid a vine or tree canopy — rendered in warm earthy tones. A red Arabic overprint at centre states the revalued denomination of 5 Nouveaux Francs, flanked by the original denomination of 500 in Arabic numerals at each upper corner. Arabic script legends of the bank name and denomination appear along the lower margin, with engravers' credits at bottom centre. |
