| Obverse description | Three Giant Eland (Taurotragus derbianus) busts depicted in high relief, facing left and overlapping in a dynamic, naturalistic composition set against a background of stylized savanna grasses. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE arcs around the upper periphery in raised Latin letters. The engraver's signature G.B.L.BAZOR appears to the right of the design in the field, with the Paris Mint privy mark visible at the lower center of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The large bold numeral 100 dominates the central field, rendered with ornate dotted and rope-bordered numerals in a decorative style. The word FRANCS appears below the numeral, and ESSAI is inscribed beneath it in smaller letters, confirming the trial strike status. The legend BANQUE CENTRALE arcs around the upper periphery, while the date 1971 is displayed within a decorative scroll at the base, flanked by geometric zigzag patterned panels on either side. Two small privy marks — a cornucopia and an owl — are visible flanking the central numeral in the field. |
