| Obverse description | The State Coat of Arms of the Soviet Union is prominently centered in the upper field, featuring a hammer and sickle superimposed upon a globe, enclosed by stylised wheat sheaves bound with ribbons and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The Cyrillic abbreviation 'СССР' (USSR) appears in large letters flanking the central arms. Below, two horizontal lines divide the arms from the bold denomination inscription '100 РУБЛЕЙ' (100 Roubles) placed in the lower field. The design follows the standardised Soviet state arms type used on commemorative issues of this period, with crisp medallic relief. |

| Reverse description | The central field presents a detailed architectural view of the Krylatskoye Rowing Canal grandstand, the venue for rowing and canoe sprint events at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, rendered in three-quarter perspective above stylised wave motifs. Four flagpoles bearing pennants rise above the grandstand roof, conveying the festive character of the Olympic setting. The official Moscow 1980 Olympic emblem — incorporating a stylised Kremlin Spasskaya Tower surmounted by an Olympic flame above the five interlocking rings — appears in the upper right field. The curved legend 'ИГРЫ XXII ОЛИМПИАДЫ · МОСКВА · 1980' arcs along the upper border, while the Leningrad Mint mark 'ЛМД' is incuse in the lower right field and the year '1978' is inscribed in the exergue. |
