Obverse description	Intaglio portrait of Krišjānis Barons, the celebrated Latvian folklorist and collector of dainas, occupies the right half of the note against a guilloche underprint with traditional Latvian folk ornaments. To the left, a large red denomination numeral '100' rendered in microtext letterpress forms a bold vignette, with the inscription 'SIMT LATU' in large serif lettering along the lower margin. A vertical panel of deep red woven folk-textile pattern borders the right edge, and the serial number appears twice in red above and below the portrait.
Obverse lettering	LATVIJAS BANKAS NAUDAS ZĪME SIMT LATU LATVIJAS BANKA (Translation: Banknote of the Bank of Latvia / Hundred Lats / Bank of Latvia)
Reverse description	The central vignette reproduces a geometric abstraction of the Lielvārde Belt, an ancient Latvian folk textile of deep cultural significance, rendered in interlocking red, pink, and ochre guilloche panels across the full width of the note. A vertical microtext column and a panel of repeating '100' numerals appear on the left, while the Latvian state coat of arms — a quartered shield with sun, lion, and griffin supporters surmounted by three stars — is printed in intaglio at the lower right. The date '1992' appears beneath the coat of arms, with the denomination '100' placed at upper right and lower left.
