| Obverse description | The Armenian National Coat of Arms occupies the central field, depicting a heraldic eagle displayed with a lion rampant to dexter, supporting a quartered shield charged with symbols of historical Armenian kingdoms, including Mount Ararat, surmounted by a sword, a branch, and a chain. The year '2004' is inscribed in the upper field above the arms. The circular legend 'ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ' arcs along the upper periphery in Armenian script, while 'REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA' curves along the lower periphery in Latin script. The denomination '100' appears prominently in the lower field, flanked by 'DRAM' to the left and 'ԴՐԱՄ' to the right in smaller characters. |

Armenia's commemorative program in the early 2000s leaned heavily on licensed sporting themes, and this piece was issued two years ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany — an unusually long lead time that reflected the Central Bank's strategy of entering the collector market early rather than competing with the flood of issues that typically appeared in the tournament year itself.
