| Obverse description | The obverse features an abstract modernist composition by designer Reijo Juhani Paavilainen, rendered in a graphic, geometric style evoking Finnish independence and cultural identity. The design is bisected by a stylized vertical staff or sceptre element with orbicular nodes, flanked by abstract geometric forms including triangles, crescents, and decorative motifs. The denomination '100€' appears in the lower left field, with the bilingual country name 'SUOMI' and 'FINLAND' inscribed along the lower arc of the coin. The mint mark of the Mint of Finland appears as a small symbol near the base of the central staff. The overall composition is divided into contrasting polished and textured fields, enhancing the proof finish. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays an abstract artistic design consistent with the commemorative theme of Finnish independence, incorporating geometric and symbolic motifs in a modernist idiom. The country names 'SUOMI' and 'FINLAND', rendered in Finnish and Swedish respectively, appear centrally in the field, flanked by the commemorative dates '1917' and '2007' positioned above and below, marking the 90th anniversary of Finnish independence. The engraver's initial 'P' also appears within the design. The composition balances open field areas with incised graphic elements, characteristic of Finnish commemorative gold coinage of this period. |
