| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of Louis Philippe I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair falling in natural waves. The king is portrayed with a short beard and strong facial features in a naturalistic Neo-Classical style. The engraver's signature CAUNOIS appears in small letters in the lower right field, below the truncation. The circular legend reads LOUIS PHILIPPE I to the left and ROI DES FRANCAIS to the right, separated by the bust. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 100 FRANCS and date 1830, each followed by a period, are displayed in three lines at the centre of the field, separated by a short horizontal rule. The central inscription is framed by a wreath composed of two branches — olive on the left and laurel on the right — tied at the base by a small Gallic rooster facing left, a patriotic emblem of France. The overall composition is bold and well-centred within a beaded border, consistent with the restrained Neo-Classical design vocabulary of the period. |
