Obverse lettering PAPUA NEW GUINEA 9000/1000 FINE GOLD FM 1977
Reverse description A finely detailed effigy of a Blyth's Hornbill (Rhyticeros plicatus) is depicted in profile, perched upon a naturalistic branch bearing foliage, positioned in the upper right portion of the field. The large, curved casqued bill and scaled plumage of the bird are rendered with considerable artistic precision. The denomination K100 is boldly inscribed in large characters across the lower field, with the bird's tail overlapping the numeral. A beaded inner border encircles the entire design, consistent with the obverse treatment.
