Vorderseitenbeschreibung	The obverse is printed in blue-black intaglio on cream paper and presents a bilingual layout in French and Arabic. At the top centre, the issuer's name "BANQUE DE L'ALGÉRIE" is set in bold letterpress above the payable clause and the denomination "cent francs" in large script lettering, with the Arabic equivalents below. Flanking the central text field are two tall allegorical vignettes of classical male figures, while a lower central vignette carries a reclining female allegory with a trident, all surrounded by fine guilloche scrollwork; three signature lines for Le Contrôleur, Le Directeur, and Le Caissier appear beneath the denomination.

Anmerkungen	The Banque de l'Algérie was established in 1851 with a monopoly on note issue in the colony, its charter modeled closely on the Banque de France but with a far narrower and more volatile economic base — largely tied to agricultural credit and settler commerce. Notes of this series circulated through a period of sustained French consolidation, including the droughts and rural disruptions of the late 1860s that pushed much of the indigenous population into destitution and triggered the major 1871 Kabyle uprising shortly after this series closed. Surviving examples are uncommon. Colonial Algerian paper from this period suffered hard use and was rarely preserved by collectors at the time.
