A guilloche underprint of overlapping oval medallions fills the centre, above which the issuer's name arcs in letterpress. The large denomination numeral "0fr.50" dominates the centre, with the date "5 NOVEMBRE 1914" set in a rectangular cartouche at the foot, flanked by the facsimile signatures of the President and Treasurer. |
