The front of the banknote features the inscription "Chambre de Commerce de Bordeaux" at the top, indicating the issuing institution. The face value "1 Franc" is clearly indicated. Decorative graphic elements frame the main text. The signature of the President of the Chamber of Commerce and that of the cashier are affixed, authenticating the banknote. A unique serial number is printed on the banknote to ensure its identification and tracking.

On the back, we find the inscription "Chambre de Commerce de Bordeaux". Ornamental motifs and graphic elements complete the design. The face value "1 Franc" is also repeated on the back. Legal notices or information relating to the issue may be present.

The banknote is printed on paper, a common material for issues of this type. The colors used are generally limited, often in black and white or with monochrome shades, due to the technical and economic constraints of the time. The dimensions of the banknote are modest, facilitating its handling and circulation. The state of preservation of these banknotes varies considerably depending on their use and storage over time.
