| Obverse description | The central field displays the Zambian coat of arms in high relief, featuring a shield with wavy vertical lines representing the Victoria Falls, supported by a man in traditional attire on the left and a woman in traditional dress on the right. A fish eagle with wings displayed surmounts the shield above crossed picks and a hoe, symbolising the nation's mineral wealth and agriculture. Below the shield, a scroll bears the national motto ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION flanked by stylised maize cobs and a mine shaft. The legend ZAMBIA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1998 positioned at the base of the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene depicting a group of three giraffes — two adults and one juvenile — in an open savannah landscape. The two adult giraffes stretch their long necks upward to browse the canopy of an acacia tree rendered in the upper field, while the young calf stands between them. Additional acacia trees and low shrubby vegetation populate the background, conveying a sense of African wildlife habitat. The denomination 100 KWACHA is inscribed in the left field of the design. |
