| Reverse description | Uniface green reverse printed entirely in guilloche underprint, with an elaborate central oval rosette medallion surrounded by radiating fine-line patterns filling the entire field. The numeral 100 is incorporated into the left portion of the central vignette. No textual legends appear; the design relies entirely on the intricate lathe-work guilloche for its decorative and anti-counterfeiting effect. |
