| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized self-portrait of Andy Warhol rendered in the artist's distinctive Pop Art manner, flanked by the dates of his birth and death (1928–1987). The background field is filled with a repeating frieze of the quotation 'MAKING MONEY IS ART', a direct reference to Warhol's celebrated aphorism and an allusion to the coin medium itself. The denomination '100 EURO', the French Republican monogram 'RF', and the inscriptions 'Andy Warhol' and '1928-1987' appear within the legend. The design is completed by Warhol's distinctive facsimile rubber-stamp signature, characteristic of his commercial artistic practice. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large, screen-printed-style rendition of Andy Warhol's iconic 'Dollar Sign' motif, occupying the majority of the coin's field and rendered with the distressed, hand-painted texture characteristic of Warhol's Pop Art silkscreen technique. The dollar sign is depicted in high relief against the polished gold ground, conveying both artistic and monetary symbolism. The copyright mark '©AWF' (Andy Warhol Foundation) appears to the lower left, while the engraver's mark and the date '2011' are inscribed to the lower right of the central device. |
