| Reverse description | The central field bears the official colorized commemorative logo for the 50th Anniversary of the Republic of Guyana, featuring a large stylized numeral '50' rendered in green, with the '0' incorporating a depiction of a Canje pheasant in flight and overlaid with an ornate Indigenous Amerindian ceremonial staff or warishi symbol. Multicolored sweeping bands in green, red, yellow, and black radiate dynamically from the central motif, representing national unity and cultural heritage. The legend '50TH REPUBLIC ANNIVERSARY 1970 - 2020' arcs along the upper periphery, with 'GUYANA TOGETHER' inscribed within the design. A lower inner legend reads 'REFLECT CELEBRATE TRANSFORM', and the denomination '100 DOLLARS' is inscribed along the bottom rim. |

| Additional information |
Guyana declared independence from Britain on May 26, 1966, making 2016 the actual golden jubilee — this coin arrived four years late, issued in 2020 to mark the republic's 50th anniversary, which fell in 1970 when Guyana formally severed ties with the Crown. The distinction matters: independence and republic status were separate events, and the coin commemorates the latter.
