| Beschrijving voorzijde | Standing winged figure of Genius, depicted as a lightly draped female allegory with large spread wings, facing right and inscribing the word CONSTITUTION on a tall tablet mounted on a pedestal. To the left of the figure stands a fasces surmounted by a pointing hand, symbolizing authority and unity; to the right, a Gallic rooster stands on a plinth, an emblem of France. The engraver's signature DUPRÉ appears in cursive script at the base, accompanied by the initials A.B. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE arcs around the upper periphery, and the entire design is framed by a fine beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This denomination was authorized under the Latin Monetary Union framework, which France had anchored since 1865, but the 100 Franc gold piece occupied an awkward commercial niche — too large for everyday transactions, too small for major banking settlements. Most saw limited hand-to-hand circulation and were treated effectively as bullion by the merchants and institutions that held them.
Production ceased entirely with the outbreak of war in August 1914, when France suspended gold convertibility and began requisitioning coin. Many pieces from this series were melted in subsequent wartime gold drives.
