| Obverse description | Multicolor intaglio vignette centred on a pensive bust of Victor Schoelcher — French journalist, politician and abolitionist — set against a panoramic seascape and mountain landscape. Schoelcher holds in his hand the parchment of the decree abolishing slavery in the French colonies. The note is an overprint on the base design of P#27, originally issued for French Equatorial Africa, with LA RÉUNION overprints applied in multiple positions across the face. |
