| Obverse description | A stylized depiction of a brick wall occupies the lower portion of the field, rendered in horizontal courses of laid brickwork in low relief. Rising above the wall is a curved architectural arch or lunette, at the center of which the numeral '100' appears in large, bold characters. The legend 'GILDENHUIS' is inscribed in an arc along the upper border, flanked on each side by a raised dot serving as a stop. |

| Additional information |
The "Gildenhuis" series was issued by Belgian municipalities and civic organizations as official penningen — commemorative medallic pieces outside the regular coinage system — typically tied to guild anniversaries, town hall restorations, or local cultural jubilees. Anderlecht's 100th anniversary issue in this series almost certainly marks an institutional centenary rather than the founding of the commune itself, which dates to medieval origins. The patinated bronze finish was applied deliberately at striking, not acquired through circulation.
