Violet engraving, geometric pastel underprints, and sharply layered ornamental textures give this banknote a more complex visual identity within Burundi’s late circulation-era franc series.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The right side of the obverse is dominated by a formal portrait of Prince Louis Rwagasore enclosed within an engraved oval frame, while the Independence Monument in Bujumbura rises beside bilingual French and Kirundi inscriptions across the center field. Multicolored geometric security patterns intersect the composition and introduce a modernized visual rhythm that contrasts with the traditional engraved portraiture.

Reverse

The reverse depicts the construction of a cinderblock building carried out by several workers within a rural landscape framed by banana trees, low hills, and the national coat of arms. Architectural structures, agricultural elements, and geometric security ornamentation combine to create a scene focused on labor, development, and state-building during Burundi’s post-independence era.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this final signature variety of the 100 Francs series brings together political memory, national development imagery, and increasingly sophisticated security design elements introduced during the later circulation years of Burundi’s paper franc issues. The presence of Prince Rwagasore and the Independence Monument gives the note particular historical resonance within modern Burundian numismatics.
