| Reverse description | The reverse presents a boldly rendered, full-color topographic silhouette of the Canadian landmass filling the central field, with each province and territory depicted in its respective official flag design applied through vibrant selective colorization. The thirteen provincial and territorial flags are faithfully reproduced within their geographic boundaries, creating a striking patchwork of heraldic imagery. The legend 2021 CANADA arcs along the upper rim above the map, while the denomination 100 DOLLARS is inscribed in a curved legend along the lower rim. The composition effectively celebrates Canadian confederation and regional identity through the visual medium of cartography and vexillology. |

| Additional information |
Canada's ten provincial and three territorial flags were never designed as a unified system — they accumulated piecemeal over more than a century, with Nunavut's flag not adopted until 1999 following the territory's creation that same year. The Royal Canadian Mint has returned to this subject across multiple collector series precisely because the flags carry distinct political histories: Quebec's fleurdelisé dates to 1948, adopted by Maurice Duplessis in a pointed assertion of distinct identity well before the sovereignty debates that followed.
The 311-gram format places this firmly in the Mint's kilo-class issues, though the precise troy weight ties it to the one-troy-ounce-times-ten convention used across RCM's larger bullion-adjacent collector pieces.
