| Obverse description | The note is printed in blue on cream paper with an elaborate decorative border composed of intertwined fruit-laden branches and foliage. At the top centre, the municipal coat of arms of Évreux is flanked by laurel sprays, with the legends RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE and DÉPARTEMENT DE L'EURE arranged on either side. The central field carries the issuer's title CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE D'ÉVREUX in large letters, below which the arrondissements served are listed, and the denomination 50 CENTIMES is set in bold. Small armorial cartouches for Andelys and Bernay appear at the lateral margins, with a further shield for Louviers at the foot centre, accompanied by signature lines for Le Président and Le Trésorier flanking the serial number; a large guilloche underprint in red carries the denomination figures. |
