The obverse of the note features the inscriptions "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DU MANS", followed by the mentions "Le Trésorier" and "Le Président", indicating those responsible for the issue. The face value, "50 CENTIMES", is clearly displayed. The issue date, "January 24, 1922", and the serial number, "164.951", are also present, as well as the mention of the "4th series". All inscriptions are written in Latin.

The reverse of the note bears the years "1922 1925", framing the potential validity period of the note. The mention "4ème Série" is repeated. An instruction specifies that the note had to be presented for redemption before December 31, 1925. The initials "H.D." also appear on the reverse. The inscriptions are also in Latin.

This note testifies to a time when Chambers of Commerce could issue their own currency, probably in response to local economic needs or shortages of fiat currency. The redemption deadline suggests a limited validity period for these emergency notes.
