| Obverse description | To the left, an oval intaglio vignette presents a young Algerian woman in traditional headdress and jewelry; to the right, a classical allegorical female figure in robes raises a torch aloft beside a seated male figure leaning against a shield bearing the anti-counterfeiting penal warning. The centre carries the bank title, denomination in both French and Arabic script, date, and three manuscript signature lines, all set over an intricate Moorish-style guilloche underprint in pink and blue. |
