The denomination '100' appears in blue within ornate oval cartouches at upper right and lower left, with the Japanese characters 百圓 (One Hundred Yen) and the English legend 'ONE HUNDRED YEN' centrally placed. The legend 'MILITARY CURRENCY' runs along the lower border in a decorative panel, and 'SERIES 100' appears twice, flanking the serial number printed in black.
