| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central intaglio vignette of a Native American encampment scene with multiple figures in traditional dress gathered around a fire, set against a finely engraved landscape background. A circular guilloche medallion with a decorative letter device occupies the upper left corner, while an ornate lathe-work panel bearing the numeral '100' fills the upper right; subordinate vignettes appear in the lower corners, including a flowering plant in a vessel at lower left and a reclining figure at lower right. Two manuscript signatures of the Comptroller and Treasurer appear along the bottom margin, above the engraver and printer imprint lines. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green ink using typographic and lathe-work techniques, with no pictorial vignettes. A large central guilloche circle encloses the numeral '100', flanked by the inscription 'STATE OF ALABAMA' in bold serif capitals within a horizontal panel, while 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' arcs across the upper and lower fields in large letters. Four ornate guilloche medallions, each containing a decorative letter device, anchor the corners and are connected by intricate lathe-work border patterns, with the engraver and printer imprints running along the bottom margin. |
