| Obverse description | The fourth portrait effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley is depicted in right-facing profile, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The frosted effigy is set against a deeply mirrored field, creating a strong cameo contrast characteristic of proof-quality strikes. The engraver's initials 'IRB' appear below the truncation of the neck. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'AUSTRALIA 2013' to the right, with the denomination '• 100 DOLLARS •' inscribed along the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed, frosted depiction of a coiled snake rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, referencing the Year of the Snake in the Chinese lunar calendar. The snake's scales are rendered with exceptional sculptural precision, its head raised and facing left. To the left of the central device, the Chinese characters '癸巳' (denoting the year of the Water Snake) are inscribed in the field, accompanied by the designer's initials 'CL' to the lower right of the snake. A decorative border of stylised cloud scrollwork encircles the central motif, and the legend '1 oz .9999 GOLD' appears along the lower exergual area. |
