| Obverse description | Printed in red on cream paper, the obverse presents a central vignette of a sailing vessel on calm water, flanked by a tall palm tree at left and a large spreading tree at right, both rendered in fine intaglio line work. A hexagonal blank medallion occupies the centre, surrounded by guilloche borders and corner ornaments bearing the denomination numeral 100. The upper portion carries the bank title BANQUE DE L'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE and the value CENT FRANCS in bold letterpress, with the place of issue CONAKRY and spaces for the President and Administrateur-Directeur signatures below. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green on cream paper, the reverse is composed entirely of dense Arabic script text arranged in multiple registers within a framework of intricate geometric guilloche borders and corner medallions. A central hexagonal blank medallion mirrors the obverse, framed by ornamental panels bearing Arabic legends that translate the note's denomination and payment obligations for Arabic-speaking territories. The overall design, engraved by Georges Duval, employs a repeating latticework underprint typical of early twentieth-century colonial currency security printing. |
