| Obverse description | An allegorical female figure stands at left and Mercury appears at right, flanking a central text panel with two oval medallions bearing the bank's monogram. A pair of birds and a set of scales occupy the top centre within an ornate foliate border, while a frieze of cherubim runs along the bottom. The engraved vignette is rendered in a classical intaglio style consistent with mid-nineteenth-century French banknote design. |
