| Reverse description | Printed in red-brown intaglio on plain paper, the reverse retains the original design of the 100 Pesetas Guineanas note. The central vignette presents a coastal scene with palm trees at right and a figure paddling a dugout canoe along a calm shoreline, backed by a large circular moonrise or sunrise over open water. The national coat of arms, bearing the motto "UNIDAD PAZ JUSTICIA," is centred in the composition, framed by ornate guilloche borders incorporating tropical fruit motifs at the sides, with the denomination "CIEN PESETAS GUINEANAS" inscribed in a panel at the foot. |
