The denomination 'CINQUANTE CENTIMES' appears in large bold capitals across the centre, with a circular vignette at lower centre enclosing the numeral '50c'. Two blocks of French text in smaller type occupy the lower left and right panels, stating the guarantee of the note by deposit at the Banque de France and the two-year redemption condition. A large pale underprint reading 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DU LOIRET' runs diagonally across the entire field as an additional security element. |
