The Madagascar 100 Ariary Banknote comes from the 2004 issues that features Omron rings, new 100-, 200-, 500-, and 1,000-ariary denominations, all of which are dated at the upper left on the back. This measures 120 x 60 mm, has a security feature of red and green solid thread with printed BFM 100, and a watermark that bears a Zebu cattle head and electrotype 100. The front side shows a ravinala palm, the forest of limestone needles in Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve and the map of Madagascar as a registration device. The back side also shows the map of Madagascar along with the Sugar Loaf hill in Diego-Suarez/Antsiranana Bay.
