| Obverse description | The obverse features a central design of industrial mining machinery, evoking the coal mines of northern France as depicted in Zola's novel Germinal. The denomination '100F' appears below the central motif, accompanied by the engraver's signature 'LE BRETON' to the right. The circular legend reads 'LIBERTE · EGALITE · FRATERNITE' along the upper periphery, with 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' distributed around the lower periphery and the date '1985' incorporated within the legend. The composition is rendered in a bold, stylized manner befitting a commemorative proof issue. |
