On the main face, an idealized rural scene is observed. A peasant, a symbol of working the land and rural France, is represented with agricultural tools. The background features typical agricultural landscapes, evoking fertility and abundant harvests. The face value, "100 Francs," is clearly indicated in words and numbers, facilitating its identification. The typography used is neat, with classic characters that demonstrate concern for clarity and readability. The dominant colors of this face are shades of brown and ocher, which recall the earth and the natural colors of agricultural landscapes.

On the reverse, the banknote takes up the rural theme with another representation of agricultural scenes. Complementary graphic elements are seen, such as farm animals or decorative motifs inspired by nature. The face value is also repeated on the reverse, ensuring easy identification of the banknote.

The signatures of the issuing officers are affixed, authenticating the banknote as an official means of payment. Watermarks, integrated into the paper during its manufacture, add extra security against counterfeiting. The overall composition of the banknote is balanced, with particular attention paid to detail and print quality.
