| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia occupies the central field, depicting a heraldic eagle and lion flanking a quartered shield, with the date 2006 inscribed above in the upper field. The denomination 100 appears prominently below the arms, flanked by the word DRAM in Latin script to the left and ԴՐԱՄ in Armenian script to the right. The Armenian legend ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ (Republic of Armenia) curves along the upper periphery in Armenian script, while the Latin legend REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA arcs along the lower periphery. The design is rendered in high relief against a brilliant proof field. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief portrait of the long-eared hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus) is depicted in profile facing left, rendered naturalistically amid rocky ground and sparse dry vegetation in the field. The scientific binomial name Erinaceus (Hemiechinus) auritus curves along the upper portion of the field in italic Latin script. The Armenian common name ԼԱՅՆԱԿԱՆՋ ՈՋՆԻ (Wide-eared Hedgehog) is inscribed in Armenian script along the lower periphery. The finely engraved texture of the animal's spines and facial features demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship typical of proof coinage. Two decorative red lines accent the inner border above and below the central motif. |
