| Obverse description | An intaglio-printed portrait bust of Vladimir Lenin in left profile occupies a large oval vignette at the left, set against a multicolour guilloche underprint with decorative foliate scrollwork in brown and olive tones. The State Coat of Arms of the USSR is centred in the right half within an ornate cartouche, with the denomination numeral "100" and the Cyrillic text "Сто рублей" rendered in bold letterpress below. A vivid geometric and floral border in green, orange, pink, and yellow frames the entire design, with a smaller guilloche rosette bearing the numeral "100" at lower right and the year "1991" printed in red at the right margin. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a view of the Beklemishevskaya Tower (also known as the Moskvoretskaya Tower) along the Kremlin wall, with the cathedrals and architectural ensemble of the Moscow Kremlin visible in the background, rendered in blue-green intaglio. The design is framed by the same multicolour geometric and floral guilloche border as the obverse, with the denomination repeated in multiple languages of the Soviet Union republics in fine letterpress text. |
