| Obverse description | The denomination '100' appears prominently in large numerals at the centre of the field, with the word 'centavos' inscribed in a curved banner below, flanked by decorative scroll-like ornaments. The entire central device is encircled by a continuous wreath-style border composed of repeating geometric and floral motifs in high relief, characteristic of proof coinage. The mirror-polished field contrasts sharply with the frosted legend and decorative elements. |

| Additional information |
Boaventura de Manufahi led the most serious armed resistance against Portuguese colonial rule in Timor, culminating in the 1911–1912 rebellion that drew a brutal suppression campaign requiring reinforcements from Lisbon. He was captured and exiled to Mozambique, where he died. This coin was struck nearly a century after that campaign, part of a broader Timorese effort to construct a national historical narrative following independence in 2002 — a process still underway when the issue was authorized.
