| Reverse description | Large denomination numeral 100 occupies the central field, with the digits rendered in an ornate, textured style featuring intricate dotted and scroll patterns within the numerals. The word FRANCS appears in the lower field beneath the numeral, with ESSAI inscribed below it in smaller letters indicating the trial strike status. The date 1966 is positioned in the upper field above the numeral. The entire central design is enclosed within a decorative geometric border composed of repeating African-inspired motifs, itself framed by a rope-style inner circle and the reeded rim. |
