Reverse: the reverse of the coin depicts "Royal Arms" and a shield which is symbolizing the nations of the United Kingdom. "Royal armament" is a complete symbol of authority and identity. The ''Royal Arms'' quartered shield depicts three passant guardant lions of England featured in the first and fourth quadrants, and in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure flory-counterflory represents Scotland. The third features a harp for Ireland. The shield is supported on one side by the crowned English lion and the other by the Scottish unicorn, and has a Garter circlet surrounding it, inscribed with "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" (shame on he who thinks evil on it). On the top of the coin we can see year of issue and on the botton coin purity and weight.
Obverse: Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the coin, with the words "ELIZABETH II D G REG F D" and the coin denomination "100 POUNDS". Below the queen's image is the coin designer initials "JC" (Jody Clark).
