About this banknote
The Banque de France issued the 100 francs "Corneille" banknote series from April 2, 1964, to February 1, 1979. This series was introduced to replace the previous 100 francs "Victor Hugo" note, aligning with the Banque de France's policy of periodically updating banknote designs.
The front of the banknote features a portrait of Pierre Corneille at the center, with the Théâtre du Château de Versailles depicted around him. The reverse side presents Corneille's bust within a cartouche at the center, accompanied by a view of Rouen, including the Palais de Justice and his birthplace to the right. The note measures 92 x 172 mm and was printed by the Banque de France.
