| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed relief depiction of the Goliath Birdeater spider (Theraphosa blondi), the world's largest tarantula by mass, occupies the central field, rendered in a naturalistic style with all eight legs extended across a textured stone or bark background. The denomination '100 Fr.' is boldly inscribed to the left of the spider in large raised numerals and abbreviated lettering. The scientific name 'Theraphosa blondi' appears in cursive Latin script along the upper left arc of the coin's triangular field. The issuing authority acronym 'IEOM' (Institut d'Émission d'Outre-Mer) is positioned in the upper right area of the field. The engraver's initials 'ВБ' appear in Cyrillic script at the lower right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Île du Diable — Devil's Island — was the most notorious cell of the French penal colony system in Guiana, reserved almost exclusively for political prisoners. Alfred Dreyfus spent four years there beginning in 1895, confined to a stone hut under round-the-clock surveillance following his wrongful conviction for treason. His eventual exoneration in 1906 collapsed public support for the entire colonial penitentiary system, though the camps themselves were not formally closed until 1953.
French Guiana issues collector pieces under French monetary authority without being legal tender in metropolitan France — a jurisdictional quirk that keeps the series largely outside mainstream numismatic circulation.
