| Reverse description | Brown letterpress reverse with a geometric guilloche border and repeating wave-and-braid frame. To the left, an oval vignette encloses the armorial bearings of the city of Bordeaux — a castle gateway flanked by towers beneath three fleurs-de-lis, with a caduceus and crossed anchors below, surmounted by an eagle. The large numeral 50 and the word centimes occupy the right half of the note, with a finely printed anti-counterfeiting underprint text filling the background. Three lines of text at centre-right state the conditions of redemption, noting the 1917 issue date and the deadline of 31 December 1925 at public treasury offices and the Banque de France in Bordeaux. |
