Reverse description Central device depicts a stylized Melanesian totem or idol figure in high relief, rendered with bold, angular forms characteristic of New Hebrides indigenous art, incorporating a mask-like face with open mouth and concentric oval eyes, surmounted by a pointed finial. The denomination 100f appears in large numerals at the bottom of the field, with the zero of '100' cleverly incorporating the base of the totem figure. The curved legend NOUVELLES HÉBRIDES arcs across the upper field in two segments flanking the totem. Two small mint marks appear as dots flanking the lower portion of the totem. The rim is decorated with the same incised chevron frieze as the obverse.
