| Obverse description | A vignette at left centre presents a three-quarter portrait of a turbaned Algerian man set against a mountainous landscape with palm trees and a North African village below. The denomination "CENT FRANCS" is inscribed in large letters across the centre, with the Arabic equivalent below, flanked by sheaves of wheat and decorative guilloche borders. The overprint "TUNISIE" appears vertically at right, with panel numerals, series letters, and three signature lines for the Directeur Général, the Caissier Principal, and the Secrétaire Général. |

| Reverse description | A wide pastoral vignette occupies the centre, showing a farmer guiding a team of two oxen ploughing a field, with a North African hilltop village and mountainous horizon extending into the distance. Date palms and fruit-laden branches — including grapes and pomegranates — frame the composition on both sides, while a large watermark reserve appears at left. The bank title "BANQUE DE L'ALGÉRIE" is lettered in a cartouche at the top, and an Arabic inscription in a rectangular panel runs along the lower edge. |
