| Reverse description | The reverse, rendered in the same red and pink colour scheme, presents a central vignette of a traditional Kandyan drummer at left and two elaborately costumed Kandyan dancers to the right, evoking Ceylon's classical performing arts heritage. Guilloche underprint panels fill the upper corners, and the bank title in Sinhala and Tamil appears along the top edge with the English title below. The denomination is inscribed in Sinhala, Tamil, and English along the lower margin, with the numeral 100 at both upper corners and the lower right. |
