| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed frontal effigy of a Cape eagle-owl (Bubo capensis) dominates the central field, depicted perched upright with prominent ear tufts and intricately engraved plumage. The curved legend PRESERVE PLANET EARTH arcs around the upper periphery in Latin script. The denomination $100 appears in the lower field beneath the owl. The design is struck in high relief with a frosted finish against a mirror field, characteristic of proof coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Eritrea declared independence from Ethiopia in 1993 following a thirty-year war and a subsequent referendum — making this 1995 issue one of the earliest gold coins struck under the newly established Bank of Eritrea. The country had no prior numismatic infrastructure of its own, and these early issues were produced by foreign mints under contract rather than any domestic facility.
The Cape eagle-owl is not native to Eritrea's coastal lowlands but inhabits the highland escarpment around Asmara — a geographic specificity that suggests deliberate rather than incidental selection for the new nation's wildlife coinage program.
