Obverse description The central field features the national emblem of Oman — the khanjar dagger superimposed upon two crossed swords — rendered in fine relief within an inner circle. Flanking the emblem horizontally are the denomination inscriptions '100 BAISA' in Latin script to the left and '١٠٠ بيسة' in Arabic script to the right. The legend 'سلطنة عمان' (Sultanate of Oman) appears in Arabic in the upper outer field, with 'SULTANATE OF OMAN' in Latin script at the lower outer field, and the dual dates '١٤٣٧' (Hijri) and '2015' (Gregorian) positioned within the inner circle above and below the emblem respectively. The entire design is framed by a decorative braided border running along the coin's periphery.

Reverse description The reverse presents an elaborate eight-pointed rosette motif in the Islamic decorative tradition, with each point terminating in a stylised foliate finial and radiating thin pin-tipped lines, filling the field in a symmetrical mandala-like composition. At the centre of the rosette is a circular medallion containing the Omani national emblem — the khanjar and crossed swords — surmounted by the numeral '45' in bold relief, commemorating the 45th National Day. A circular Arabic legend surrounding the central medallion reads 'العيد الوطني الخامس والأربعون' with the dual dates '١٤٣٧' and '2015' also present within this inner ring. The outer rim is framed by the same braided decorative border as the obverse.
