| Obverse description | The fifth definitive effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, designed by Jody Clark, occupies the centre of the obverse, depicting the crowned and draped bust of the Queen in right-facing profile. The Queen is shown wearing the George IV State Diadem, a drop earring, and a necklace, rendered with fine sculptural detail. The surrounding legend reads 'ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 100 POUNDS · 2021' arranged around the full circumference of the field, with the denomination '100 POUNDS' appearing to the left and the date '2021' to the upper right. The engraver's initials 'J.C' appear discreetly below the bust truncation. The coin exhibits a deeply mirrored proof field contrasting with frosted relief elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, designed by Adam Hargreaves, features the beloved Mr. Men and Little Miss characters from Roger Hargreaves' iconic children's book series, commemorating the 50th anniversary of their creation. In the central field, Mr. Strong — depicted as a cheerful square figure wearing a small hat — and Little Miss Giggles — portrayed as a round, smiling character — are shown holding hands and walking together, with small flowers scattered across the lower field. A decorative border of evenly spaced raised dots encircles the design. The upper legend reads 'MR. MEN LITTLE MISS' in bold lettering, with '50 years' and the creator's name 'Roger Hargreaves' inscribed in a stylised script beneath, capturing the whimsical artistic character of the original illustrations. |
