| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, modelled by Jody Clark, occupies the centre of the obverse, depicting the monarch in right-facing profile wearing the George IV State Diadem. The Queen is shown with a drop earring, rendered in finely detailed relief against a polished field. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 100 POUNDS · 2016, interrupted by raised dot separators, with the engraver's initials J.C. incused beneath the portrait truncation. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic close-up rendition of one of Sir Edwin Landseer's iconic bronze lions from the base of Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square, London, depicted in three-quarter left-facing profile with an open jaw and richly detailed mane filling the left foreground. In the middle distance to the right, the neoclassical facade of buildings framing the square and Nelson's Column surmounted by its statue are rendered in shallower relief, conveying depth and perspective. The field is otherwise unlettered, allowing the sculptural composition full visual impact. The engravers' combined initials G.D.LC appear incused at the lower centre of the design. |
