| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized depiction of a smith's anvil with a hammer and tongs rendered in a bold, modernist design, evoking the forge of Hephaestus. A starburst or spark motif radiates from the anvil, symbolizing the divine fire of the mythological smith god. The Hellenic Republic coat of arms, an escutcheon bearing a cross within an olive wreath, appears in the upper left field. The curved legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 100 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower border. The entire design is framed by a classical meander border. |
