| Obverse description | A central vignette presents a panoramic view of the Bay of Algiers, with a stylized sunburst guilloche underprint at left and a flock of seagulls in flight across the foreground. Ornate scrollwork borders frame the composition on either side, with the denomination "DIX MILLE FRANCS" in letterpress at the foot of the note. The revaluation overprint in red reads "CONTRE-VALEUR DE 100 NOUVEAUX FRANCS" within a cartouche at upper right, alongside the date 13-2-1958. |

| Reverse description | A busy port scene rendered in intaglio occupies the central vignette, with a large sailing vessel and cargo crane at the quayside, bales and barrels stacked along the dock, and Arab merchants and labourers in the foreground. A flock of sheep is driven across the lower portion of the scene, evoking the agricultural trade of the region. Arabic text panels and ornamental geometric latticework borders frame the composition, with the denomination repeated in Arabic numerals at each corner. |
