| Obverse description | At left, a seated allegorical female figure in classical robes holds a melon, with a basket of fruit and grapes resting at her feet, the vignette framed within an arched guilloche border against a tropical background. Ornate guilloche counters bearing the numeral '100' are placed at upper left and upper right, with 'BANQUE DE LA MARTINIQUE' inscribed across the top and 'CENT FRANCS' in bold letterpress at right. Three manuscript signatures appear at lower right beneath the designations 'LE DIRECTEUR', 'UN CENSEUR', and 'LE CAISSIER', over a multicolour confetti underprint spread across the note field. |

| Reverse description | The central intaglio vignette in green engraving occupies the bulk of the note, showing a reclining allegorical female figure raising a bunch of grapes aloft with her right hand while a young child at lower right reaches toward a basket of fruit, all set against a pale guilloche underprint. Ornate lacework borders frame all four sides, with guilloche rosette counters bearing '100' at lower left, lower right, and centre top, and 'BANQUE DE LA MARTINIQUE' inscribed along the upper margin. The full anti-counterfeiting legal warning runs along the lower margin. |
