About this banknote
The Banque de France issued the 100 francs Cézanne banknote on December 15, 1997, as part of a series honoring notable French figures. This series, designed by Roger Pfund, was introduced between 1992 and 1998, with the Cézanne note being the last 100 francs denomination before the transition to the euro.
The front of the banknote features a portrait of Paul Cézanne at the right, with a detail from his painting "La Mer à l'Estaque" in the background. The back showcases his still-life painting "Pommes et biscuits." The note measures 133 x 80 mm and includes a watermark of Cézanne's portrait.
