| Reverse description | Central vignette shows a farmer guiding a wooden plough drawn by two oxen across a field, with a hilltop North African village and mountain range in the background. The composition is framed by richly engraved lateral borders of date-palm fronds, clusters of dates, grapes, and other fruit, evoking the agricultural abundance of Algeria. The bank title appears in a panel at the top and the denomination numeral "100" is printed in red at upper right. |
