| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of the Central African Republic, comprising a quartered shield displaying an elephant's head and a tree in the upper quarters, a star and an arrow in the lower quarters, supported by two crossed national flags on either side and surmounted by a rising sun. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto, with the WWF panda logo absent from this face. The circular legend RÉPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE arcs along the upper rim, while the denomination 100 FRANCS CFA is inscribed along the lower rim. Two decorative asterisks flank the coat of arms in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The upper portion of the reverse is dominated by a finely struck, raised effigy of a blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) depicted in profile swimming to the left, rendered in polished relief against a vivid blue-colored ocean field that fills the upper two-thirds of the coin. A small diver figure appears in the colored field to the right of the whale, conveying the animal's immense scale. The lower third of the reverse is uncolored and features the WWF panda logotype within a square cartouche at center. The Latin binomial legend BALAENOPTERA MUSCULUS curves along the lower rim, and the date 2015 is inscribed vertically along the right inner edge at the boundary of the colored and uncolored fields. |
