| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black intaglio on cream paper and carries the branch designation 'SUCCURSALE DE BÔNE' across the top in bold letterpress. The central text reads 'CENT FRANCS. PAYABLES A VUE AU PORTEUR' flanked by two standing allegorical male figures — one to each side — posed against ornate guilloche borders bearing the numeral 100 in each corner. Below the central inscription, a female head vignette appears at the foot, with bilingual Arabic and French manuscript-style text for the secretary, director, and cashier signature lines; the date 'ALGER, LE 9 AOUT 1877' and serial number appear above the central denomination. |
