| Reverse description | The central vignette presents two herdsmen driving a group of zebu cattle across a paddock, rendered in warm earth tones against an expansive landscape; a traditional Malagasy village with terracotta-roofed houses nestles at the foot of an inselberg in the upper background at left centre. The lower border panel contains an oval vignette of rice-field workers flanked by anti-counterfeiting legal text in Malagasy and French, with the value inscription ARIARY ZATO in the lower right cartouche. |
