| Obverse description | Black letterpress border of ornate scrollwork frames the note, with the issuer's title at top and the large denomination numeral '50 cent.' in bold script at centre. To the left, a vignette of a seated woman in traditional Vellave costume occupies the full height of the inner field, while a red underprint panorama of Le Puy-en-Velay — with its distinctive volcanic rock formations and the statue of Notre-Dame — extends across the lower portion. Series letter and serial number appear beneath the denomination, flanked by two manuscript signatures over the titles 'Le Président' and 'Le Secrétaire'. |
