The denomination '100 FR.' is inscribed in large characters along the upper field. The engraver's Cyrillic monogram 'ВБ' (for Vitaly Bakhtinov) appears in the lower field. The octagonal format frames the composition within a plain flat border. |

| Additional information |
Valtice — formerly Feldsberg — was the Liechtenstein family's primary Moravian seat for centuries before the post-WWI treaties effectively stranded their ancestral estates inside the newly formed Czechoslovakia. The family had based much of their wealth there; losing it without compensation shaped the principality's eventual pivot toward financial services as its economic foundation.
Struck in silver-plated copper-nickel rather than sterling, this is firmly a collector piece rather than a bullion issue.
