| Beschrijving keerzijde | Brown letterpress print on an overall guilloche underprint composed of dense repeating "BANQUE DE L'INDO-CHINE" microtext bands forming the horizontal and vertical fields. A large open circle occupies the centre, framed by an intricate guilloche border, with decorative squared panels at each corner containing the penal code warning legend in rotated orientation. The lateral margins carry vertical repeating bank-name strips, creating a symmetrical typographic pattern across the entire reverse. |

The Banque de l'Indo-Chine 100 Francs series predates the formal decree framework that would govern later colonial issues — hence the "without decrees" designation, which reflects the authorization structure rather than any deficiency in the note itself. Bramtot and Duval's designs were executed by Wullschleger at the Banque de France's printing works in Paris, giving the note a quality of intaglio finish rarely matched by colonial-issue contemporaries.
Surviving examples in any grade are genuinely uncommon. The 1920 dating places production in the immediate postwar period, when shipping disruptions between France and Indochina meant distribution was slow and uneven.
