| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II after Arnold Machin, depicting the sovereign with an elaborate floral diadem and lightly draped shoulders. A small engraver's mark appears in the field below the truncation. The circumferential legend reads 'THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS' above and '· ELIZABETH II ·' below, all in raised Latin lettering. The portrait is rendered in fine relief against a mirror proof field, consistent with Machin's classic Royal portrait style used throughout Commonwealth coinage of this era. |

| Reverse description | Conjoined busts of HRH Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer facing left, rendered in high relief against a polished proof field, commemorating their wedding of 29 July 1981. The legend '· ROYAL WEDDING ·' arcs along the upper left field, while '· 100 DOLLARS ·' arcs along the upper right. The date '· 19 81 ·' appears in the lower legend, flanking a small decorative device — a pair of flamingos — positioned in the exergue. The portraits are realistically modelled with naturalistic detail in the hair and facial features. |
