The engraver's signature G.B.L. BAZOR appears at the right inner field. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE POPULAIRE DU CONGO runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, with a small mint mark at the bottom of the field.

Reverse description Large denomination numeral '100' dominates the central field, with the two zeros rendered in an ornate rope or chain-pattern outline style, flanked by a geometric decorative border of interlocking chevron and zigzag motifs in the African artistic tradition. The word FRANCS appears below the numeral in bold raised lettering, with the date below it in the lower field. The legend BANQUE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE is inscribed in a raised cartouche along the upper arc, framed by two rectangular end-stops.
