| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized Vergina Sun (Star of Vergina) rendered in a bold, geometric design with sixteen lightning-bolt rays radiating from a central medallion. The central medallion bears the Greek coat of arms — a quartered shield with a cross — encircled by a laurel wreath. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ curves along the upper periphery in Greek script, while the denomination 100 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower periphery. The entire design is bordered by a classical Greek meander (key) pattern running around the outer rim. The engraver's mark appears in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | Dynamic depiction of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, shown in a powerful contrapposto stance as a muscular, bearded figure. He raises his right arm aloft, wielding a bundle of thunderbolts, while his left arm is extended forward with an eagle perched upon his wrist. The figure is rendered in a relief style inspired by ancient Greek sculpture and red-figure pottery. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΜΥΘΟΛΟΓΙΑ (Greek Mythology) arcs across the upper field, with the year 2014 inscribed below it, and the name ΔΙΑΣ (Zeus) appears in the lower field. The design is framed by a classical Greek meander border at the rim, with a small mint mark visible in the lower left field. |
