| Reverse description | Printed in dark blue on a tan guilloche underprint, the reverse is dominated by two large circular medallion vignettes — one at centre-left and one at centre-right — each enclosing an intaglio portrait bust of a classical female head in profile, surrounded by lathe-work rings bearing repeated numeral 100. The central panel carries the trilingual denomination CENT FRANCS / HUNDERT FRANKEN / CENTO FRANCHI in bold letterpress within a finely engraved guilloche frame. Corner cartouches at all four positions repeat the numeral 100, and the outer border mirrors the multilingual denomination band found on the obverse. |
