| Obverse description | Single-sided emergency note printed in red on cream paper, with a rectangular border of dotted guilloche ornament. A central vignette at the top depicts a seated allegorical figure flanked by the issuer's name in bold letterpress. Two text blocks flank the large denomination legend 'CINQUANTE CENTIMES' at centre, the left noting the authorisation by the Minister of Commerce dated 20 August 1914, and the right warning against fraudulent imitation. The value '0,50' appears in large red numerals at the lower left and lower right corners, with the series designation 'C 1' at centre bottom, above the printed signature lines for the Treasurer and the President of the Chamber of Commerce. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows a ghost impression of the obverse printed in pale grey, visible as a mirror-image show-through of the front design, with the red '0,50' denomination numerals printed in reverse at the lower corners. The note is otherwise plain, consistent with a uniface emergency issue where the back serves only as a security backing. |
