| Obverse description | The obverse features the mature, uncrowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in right-facing profile, designed by Susan Taylor, depicting the Queen adorned with a pearl necklace and drop earrings, her hair styled in an upswept coiffure. The legend ELIZABETH II arcs along the left rim and 100 DOLLARS along the upper rim, with D•G•REGINA inscribed along the right rim. A small stylized maple leaf privy mark bearing the numeral 25, denoting the Royal Canadian Mint's 25th anniversary of the effigy, appears at the base of the portrait below the truncation. The field is lightly textured, providing an elegant matte contrast to the sculpted relief of the effigy. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed wreath composed of naturalistic maple leaf branches tied at the base with a flowing ribbon bow, framing a centrally positioned single maple leaf rendered in vivid red applied colour — emblematic of Canada's national flag. A scrolled ribbon banner across the centre of the composition bears the centennial dates 1921-2021, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the adoption of red and white as Canada's national colours. The word CANADA is inscribed in bold lettering along the upper rim. The engraver's initials MG appear discreetly in the lower right field. The overall composition is executed in high relief with exceptional sculptural detail, combining colourization and mirror-like proof surfaces. |
