The reverse is executed in black intaglio and centres on a large circular guilloche medallion enclosing a laureate female head in high-relief style, flanked by the bold numerals '100' on each side. Two allegorical figures occupy the lateral panels: a male figure to the left holding a staff and a female figure to the right bearing a spear, both seated on elaborate bases; the upper register carries a decorative frieze with radiating sunburst motifs at each corner. A rectangular cartouche at the foot of the central medallion bears the anti-counterfeiting legal warning text. |

The Banque de l'Algérie was established in 1851 with a monopoly on note issue in the colony, operating under close supervision from Paris rather than functioning as a true central bank. By 1877, the bank was navigating a difficult stretch — the devastating phylloxera blight had begun destroying Algerian vineyards, which formed a core of the settler economy, and demand for credit in the territory was volatile.
Pick 27 is among the scarcer nineteenth-century French colonial issues. Paper deterioration is a known problem with this series; the combination of North African climate and heavy mercantile circulation was hard on cotton-substrate notes of this period.
