| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Printed in brown on cream paper, the obverse carries a fine diamond-pattern guilloche underprint across the entire field, overlaid with floral and hop-vine vignettes in the upper corners. A bold central cartouche in dark brown bears the denomination '50 Centimes' in large letterpress characters, framed by wheat-sheaf and laurel ornaments. The series letter appears in a box at upper left, with the serial number in a corresponding box at upper right; two manuscript signatures appear below, attributed to the Treasurer and President of the Chamber of Commerce, above a framed legal text at the foot. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is richly engraved in brown, with a central octagonal vignette enclosing a view of the Bordeaux port exchange building, encircled by the Latin motto 'QUO NON HAC DUCE' and flanked by abundant sprays of wheat, hops, and vine leaves. A seated allegorical female figure occupies the lower centre, flanked on the left by a panoramic harbour scene with sailing vessels and wine barrels, and on the right by a view of a Bordeaux boulevard with a crowd; the arms of Bordeaux, borne on caduceus-flanked cartouches, appear at each lateral margin. The denomination '50 cents.' is repeated in bold type to either side of the central vignette. |

| Anmerkungen |
French chambres de commerce were authorized to issue emergency small-denomination notes in August 1914 specifically because the mobilization for war had triggered an immediate hoarding crisis — silver and bronze coins vanished from circulation within days. Bordeaux's chamber was among the first provincial bodies to act, and these 50 centimes notes filled the void left at the bottom of the currency ladder where metallic coin had been entirely absorbed.
The JP#30-4/5 reference covers two closely related varieties distinguished by minor typographic differences in the text block — a distinction that catches out collectors who assume the series is uniform.
