Above the eagle, the denomination '100 LE ARE' is rendered in bold Latin characters, flanked by the AH date 1412 and the Gregorian year 1992 in Arabic-Eastern numerals. The circumferential legend, reading 'THE 25th OLYMPIC GAMES 1992', runs along the lower rim in raised Latin letters, while a decorative denticled border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic figure of a handball player is depicted in high relief at left, shown in mid-stride with right arm raised and ball in hand, poised to throw, against a stylised goal-net rendered as parallel diagonal lines at left. An Arabic legend curves along the right and lower rim, naming the sport and the occasion, accompanied by the Gregorian year 1993 in Eastern Arabic numerals at the base. A denticled border encircles the entire composition, consistent with the obverse treatment. |
