Obverse description At the centre of the obverse, the emblem of the Bank of Russia features a double-headed eagle after the design of Ivan Bilibin, set within a beaded inner circle. To the lower left of the eagle, the metal designation and fineness appear (Au 999), with the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД) at centre and the fine gold content (15.55) to the right. A circular legend along the upper rim reads '100 РУБЛЕЙ 1993 г.' and along the lower rim 'БАНК РОССИИ', both separated from the central device by the beaded border.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a brown bear standing in a naturalistic forest setting, surrounded by fir trees, herbaceous vegetation, and a stylised bird motif among decorative foliate patterning along the rim. The central design is rendered in high relief, emphasising the bear as the primary subject of this wildlife conservation series. A circular legend along the rim reads 'СОХРАНИМ НАШ МИР' (Protect Our World), framing the scene. The composition reflects the artistic style characteristic of Russian proof commemorative issues of the early 1990s.
