The large-denomination numeral '500' appears in the upper corners flanking the central letterpress inscription 'CINQ CENTS FRANCS' in bold roman capitals. Three signature facsimiles — Le Contrôleur Général, Le Caissier Général, and Le Secrétaire Général — appear at lower right, with the date printed at top center. |
