| 正面描述 | 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. |

| 背面描述 | 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. |

Latvia restored its pre-war currency in stages beginning in 1992, and the 100 Latu was the highest denomination in that initial reintroduction series — a deliberate signal that the restored lats would be treated as a serious, hard currency rather than a transitional placeholder. The interwar lats had been one of Europe's strongest currencies before Soviet annexation in 1940, and that reputation was consciously being reclaimed.
Giesecke & Devrient printed the series in Munich. The watermark remains the only primary security feature documented for this type, modest by contemporary European standards but adequate given how rarely 100-lat notes changed hands in ordinary retail transactions.
