October 12, 1876, the leadership of the Bank of France, worried about the appearance of a large number of counterfeits of 100 franc notes, expressed determination to improve the protection of the banknote. In order to combat counterfeiters, it was decided to place two watermarks depicting a human head in a frame.
Early withdrawal of banknotes from circulation began on March 4, 1889. The banknote ceased to be legal tender on January 2, 1923.
