The Banque de France issued the 100 francs banknote in 1918 as part of its series produced during and shortly after World War I. This series was introduced to address wartime financial changes and increase the money supply. The note fell within a broader circulation period from 1909 to 1923 but was specifically printed during the years leading up to the end of World War I.
The front of this banknote features a multicolor design with a woman and child depicted on both the left and right sides. The back shows a blacksmith at the left and a woman with a child at the right. It was printed on paper, primarily in green, light green, and red, with dimensions of 180 x 112 mm. The note bears the signatures of J. Laferriere and E. Picard for the period between May 11, 1909, and April 12, 1920.
