Framed Large-Scale Replica of 1986 French 100 Francs Banknote (Delacroix)

This item is a large-format decorative art print or replica poster depicting the 1986 issue of the French 100 Francs banknote. The graphics feature a prominent portrait of the Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix on the right, with a reproduction of his famous painting 'Liberty Leading the People' showcased at the bottom. The print includes standard banknote markings such as 'BANQUE DE FRANCE', the denomination '100', 'CENT FRANCS', and the date '1986'. It also displays printed signatures of the Secretary General, Comptroller General, and General Cashier, along with serial numbers (822891 and 2872822891) and the series code 'X.115'. The color palette is composed of muted earth tones, browns, and ochre, characteristic of the original currency's design. The piece is mounted on a rigid backing board and is ready for hanging with a wire attached across the back. The physical condition appears fair, with visible wear along the edges of the backing and some light horizontal creasing or surface undulations across the print itself. There are small points of paper loss or scuffing on the top and side edges. It represents a late 20th-century piece of financial-themed wall decor, potentially used for promotional or educational purposes within a financial institution or as a collector's novelty piece.
