| Reverse description | The reverse features the face value "100 FRANCS" prominently displayed in the central field, flanked by two stylized Egyptian cat figures — a reference to Malraux's lifelong fascination with art and civilization. The national motto "LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ" encircles the composition. Below the central design, André Malraux's facsimile signature is surrounded by the titles of four of his most celebrated literary works: "La Condition Humaine", "L'Espoir", "Les Voix du Silence", and "Antimémoires". The date 1997 appears in the upper field. |
