| Reverse description | Central design features a large stylized letter X, emblematic of the École Polytechnique, above a geometric pyramid inscribed with the variables X, N, and Y — an allusion to Monge's foundational work in descriptive geometry. The pyramid's mirror reflection is depicted beneath it as a mirage, accompanied by a palm tree evoking Monge's participation in Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian Campaign of 1798. Denomination 100 F and date 1998 appear in the field alongside mathematical notation, with LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE forming the principal legend. |
