| Reverse description | A traditional Kanak conical thatched hut occupies the central field, flanked symmetrically by tall columnar Cook pine trees and palm fronds in an evocative Melanesian landscape composition. The denomination 100 is rendered in large numerals in the lower central field, followed by the franc symbol 'f' at the base. The territorial name NOUVELLE-CALEDONIE arcs around the full periphery, and the word ESSAI, denoting pattern or trial status, appears spaced within the upper legend. |
