| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of King Leopold II of Belgium at left, rendered with fine engraving detail capturing his characteristic long white beard and military dress, set against a guilloche underprint in green and ochre tones. A Belgian lion vignette occupies the upper left, with the numeral 100 in brown at lower left and a large circular guilloche rosette at right forming the watermark window. Two signature lines appear below the central bilingual text, captioned LE GOUVERNEUR and LE PREMIER-DIRECTEUR, with an anti-counterfeiting notice at lower right and the engraver's credit G. MINGUET SC. in the lower margin. |
