| Obverse description | The full Jamaican coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing five golden pineapples on a black cross, supported on the dexter side by a Taíno woman holding a basket of fruit and on the sinister side by a Taíno man holding a spear and shield, both in traditional dress. A crocodile crest surmounts a Royal helmet and mantling above the shield. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto in the legend OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE. The country name JAMAICA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS curves along the lower border in large raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
Jamaica had no realistic medal expectations at the 1992 Barcelona Games, but the issue coincided with the continued dominance of Jamaican sprinters who had been reshaping short-distance track events since the 1970s. Large-format silver pieces of this weight were a common Commonwealth issuer strategy in the early 1990s — the Bank of Jamaica released several such coins tied to international sporting events during this period, few of which saw meaningful secondary-market demand.
