| Obverse description | At center, the double-headed eagle after the design of artist I. Bilibin, depicted without a shield on its chest, rendered in a stylized heraldic manner characteristic of early 20th-century Russian graphic art. The upper legend reads «100 РУБЛЕЙ 1997г.» (100 ROUBLES 1997) and the lower legend reads «БАНК РОССИИ» (BANK OF RUSSIA). Below the eagle in the field appear the metal designation, fineness, fine gold content, and the Leningrad Mint (ЛМД) trademark, inscribed as: Au 999 ЛМД 15.55. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the celebrated pas de deux of Prince Siegfried and Odette from Act III of Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, rendered in high relief with the menacing figure of the sorcerer Rothbart visible in the background. The composition captures the lyrical grace of classical ballet, with fine detail in the dancers' costumes and poses. The curved legend «ЛЕБЕДИНОЕ ОЗЕРО» (THE SWAN LAKE) runs along the upper rim, framing the scene. The overall design reflects the work of engraver Alexandra Arsenyevna Dolgopolova in a refined artistic style. |
