| Obverse description | The central intaglio vignette presents a Moroccan kasbah fortress, set within ornate Moorish architectural borders with stylised palmette and shell motifs in the upper register. Two large scalloped white rosette medallions flank the vignette and serve as the primary watermark windows, while guilloche numerals '100' occupy the lower corners. The issuer's name BANQUE D'ÉTAT DU MAROC runs in bold letterpress across the top, with the denomination CENT FRANCS in a decorative cartouche at the lower centre. |
