背面描述	The reverse presents an allegorical tree whose foliage is formed by the words of the French national motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ, surmounted by a Phrygian cap symbolising liberty. A horizontal band crosses the composition diagonally, bearing the face value 100F and the split date 19 86. The artist's name DURAND-MEGRET is inscribed within the design. This richly symbolic composition, adapted from a drawing by Michel Durand-Mégret, integrates republican iconography with typographic artistry in a bold and distinctive manner.

附加信息	Issued to mark the centennial of the Statue of Liberty's dedication on October 28, 1886, this piedfort was struck by the Monnaie de Paris as part of a coordinated French-American commemorative program acknowledging France's role in conceiving and funding the monument. Piédfort production at the Paris mint uses double-thickness planchets struck multiple times under extreme pressure, a technique the mint has maintained since the medieval period when piédforts served as official weight standards for assayers. The .920 fineness is characteristic of French gold coinage practice rather than the .900 standard common to U.S. issues of the period.
