| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a tiara with delicate floral and scroll ornamentation, rendered in the effigy style by Arnold Machin. The portrait is centrally positioned within a deeply mirrored proof field, with the hair elaborately styled in soft waves beneath the crown. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left periphery and D·G·REGINA along the right, both in raised Latin capitals. The truncation of the bust is clean and unadorned, resting just above the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized design of six children of varied appearance joyfully dancing and playing in a ring, rendered in a contemporary graphic idiom evoking innocence and global unity. At the center-right, a gridded globe symbolizes the international scope of the United Nations International Year of the Child. The denomination 100 Dollars appears in two lines at the lower left of the field, while the date 1979 and the issuer legend CANADA are inscribed in the upper right. The design conveys a playful yet purposeful commemorative spirit appropriate to the occasion. |
