Obverse description	Printed in blue on a fine guilloche underprint, the obverse is centred on a large ornate vignette bearing the denomination numeral "100" in decorative script, flanked by intricate foliate and geometric border panels. The issuer name "LATVIJAS BANKA" runs across the upper margin, while the central panel carries the full gold-redemption clause inscription beneath it. The date 1923 is set at the lower centre, accompanied by two manuscript signatures of bank officials.

Reverse description	Printed throughout in blue, the reverse presents a central allegorical vignette of two seated women in traditional Latvian national costume — one holding a garland, the other accompanied by harvest produce — with an industrial landscape visible in the background and the Latvian Coat of Arms positioned between the two figures. The denomination "100" appears in large ornamental numerals within elaborate guilloche cartouches at the left and right margins. An anti-counterfeiting cautionary legend is inscribed along the lower margin.
