The face value, "100 francs", is clearly indicated in words and numbers. The name of the issuing country, "New Caledonia", is also on this side.

The back of the banknote depicts a view of the local landscape, including natural elements characteristic of New Caledonia. The face value of the banknote is also repeated for easy identification. The dominant colors of the banknote are chosen to reflect the environment and culture of the region.

This 100 franc banknote from 1969 is identified by the J.1 series. It is a testament to the monetary history of New Caledonia and its ties to France at that time. The graphic design of the banknote reflects the aesthetics of the time, while integrating cultural and natural elements specific to the region.
