| Obverse description | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Raphael David Maklouf, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, drop earrings, and a pearl necklace. The truncation is draped and the portrait is set against a deeply mirrored proof field. The circular legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs around the upper periphery, with the date 1994 positioned in the lower exergue. A fine inner border of raised beads frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dynamic, multi-plane composition of killer whales (Orcinus orca): a large adult orca swimming leftward dominates the lower foreground, rendered with characteristic black-and-white pigmentation markings, while two smaller orcas breach and leap above the waterline in the upper register, with stylised wave elements below them. The inscription THE KILLER WHALE appears in small lettering within the left field. The broad outer legend WHALES OF THE WORLD arcs across the upper periphery, and the denomination 100 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower border, all against a deeply frosted proof field. |
