| Obverse description | A detailed high-relief depiction of the Triumphal Arch of Lorraine (Arco dei Lorena) in Florence occupies the central field, rendered with fine architectural precision showing its central archway, flanking columns, and sculptural crowning elements. The legend 'SHQIPERI - ALBANIA - 2001' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin letters, while 'HARKU I TRIUMFIT I LORENES - FIRENZE' curves along the lower periphery. The design is executed in proof finish, with the architectural motif set against a deeply mirrored field. |

| Reverse description | The upper torso and head of Michelangelo's celebrated marble statue of David are depicted in high relief at the center-left of the field, faithfully reproducing the Renaissance masterwork's muscular anatomy and characteristic rightward gaze. The denomination '100' appears prominently to the right in large numerals, with 'LEKE' inscribed beneath. The commemorative legend '500 · VJETORI I STATUJES SE DAVIDIT' (500th Anniversary of the Statue of David) arcs along the left and upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. A decorative border of raised dots frames the design along the right margin, complementing the proof surface of the deeply mirrored field. |
