| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold, modernist graphic composition dominated by the large denomination '100 FRANCS' in the upper field and the commemorative date '8 MAI 1945' rendered in oversized numerals and letters across the central field. Two stylized French tricolor flags are depicted in the left field, their staffs crossed and drapery suggested through geometric, hatched forms. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE' curves along the left and lower rim, with the issue year '1995' inscribed at the top. The overall design employs a dynamic, constructivist aesthetic evoking the jubilation of the Liberation. |
