| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of an elderly African man wearing a traditional beaded cap occupies the right half of the note. At left centre, a vignette of a conical thatched hut with clay vessels is set against a landscape background, while a traditional stringed musical instrument and an ornamental mask are rendered in the left margin. Guilloche underprint in orange and yellow tones covers the field, with the denomination numeral '100' printed in the upper corners and 'CENT FRANCS' in large letterpress at foot centre. |

| Reverse description | A large African elephant and a smaller elephant calf occupy the left and centre of the vignette, set beside a riverine landscape with rocky outcrops and sparse vegetation beneath a large circular watermark space. At right, a group of agricultural and traditional tools — including a sickle, hoe, and paddle — is arranged vertically within a decorative geometric border. The overall design is executed in multicolour intaglio with rich orange, brown, and green tones, framed by an intricate ethnic-pattern guilloche border. |
