| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device depicts a mortar and pestle, symbolic of scientific laboratory work, flanked on either side by two crossed holly branches with berries, all set against a background of concentric semicircular arcs radiating upward to evoke radioactive emissions. Above the mortar, the atomic symbol and atomic weight of radium are rendered in a cursive script as Ra = 226,0. The denomination 100F appears in bold numerals in the lower field, with the date 1997 below, and the legend LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE curves along the upper periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin was issued the year before France retired the franc entirely, making it among the last commemorative silver francs struck before the euro transition rendered the denomination obsolete. The Curies are an unusual joint honoree — Marie remains the only person to have won Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines, and Pierre's own 1906 death under a horse-drawn cart in Paris ended what might have been an even more decorated career.
The Monnaie de Paris had struck a Marie Curie commemorative once before, in 1984, for the centenary of her birth.
