| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque de la Martinique occupied an awkward political position after France's June 1940 armistice. The island's governor initially aligned with Vichy, meaning the pre-war note stock remained in use under circumstances that cut Martinique off from metropolitan France and made resupply through normal channels impossible. By 1942, the American Bank Note Company in New York was producing this series — a direct consequence of the Allied blockade severing any practical connection to French or colonial printing houses.
The multicolour confetti fibres are worth noting: ABNC incorporated them routinely into colonial issues of this period as a basic anti-counterfeiting measure, not as a special security upgrade for Martinique specifically.
