| Obverse description | Within a raised rim adorned with twelve five-pointed stars, a stylized olive branch rendered in low relief encircles the central field, its sinuous boughs framing the official emblem of the Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Games — the five interlocked Olympic rings — positioned at centre. Above the rings, the Greek legend ΑΘΗΝΑ 2004 is inscribed in the field, while the denomination 100 ΕΥΡΩ appears in large characters along the lower arc of the inner circle. A small mint mark is visible to the lower right of the central device. |

| Reverse description | A detailed high-relief depiction of the North Entrance Portico of the Minoan Palace of Knossos, Crete, occupies the central and lower field, rendered with careful architectural precision showing reconstructed colonnaded facade, stone masonry courses, and surrounding excavated ruins extending across the field. The curved upper legend ΚΡΗΤΗ - ΤΟ ΑΝΑΚΤΟΡΟ ΤΗΣ ΚΝΩΣΟΥ, meaning 'Crete — The Palace of Knossos', arcs along the upper periphery within the raised rim. The composition conveys the monumental grandeur of the Bronze Age Minoan civilization. |
