| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Juan Carlos I facing left, modelled in high relief with naturalistic detail. The circumscribed legend reads 'JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA' arranged along the upper and left periphery, with the date '1995' inscribed in the lower field between two small dots. The portrait, engraved by Manuel Martinez Tornero, displays a confident, mature likeness of the monarch with carefully rendered hair and facial features. The flat field surrounding the bust provides a clean, uncluttered frame consistent with the modern Spanish coinage aesthetic. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized agricultural composition designed to commemorate the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). A prominent ear of wheat rises on the left, its detailed kernels rendered in relief alongside diagonal furrows representing cultivated earth that sweep across the lower field. The large denomination numeral '100' appears in the upper portion of the field, with 'PTAS' inscribed to its right. The bold FAO logotype is superimposed centrally over the agricultural motifs, accompanied by the Madrid mint mark — a crowned 'M' — to the lower left. The overall design, by Begoña Castellanos García, conveys themes of food security and agricultural development. |
