| Obverse description | Central field features a rectangular seal-script panel bearing an archaic Chinese character rendered in bronze-age pictographic style, flanked by stylized taotie mask motifs in the surrounding decorative border. The circular legend 中华人民共和国 (People's Republic of China) arcs around the upper periphery in raised relief. The date 2021 appears in the lower exergue in Latin numerals. The overall design evokes the aesthetic of ancient Chinese bronze vessels and oracle-bone inscriptions, rendered in highly polished proof finish against a frosted background. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a large, boldly rendered Chinese character 家 (meaning 'home' or 'family') executed in the regular script (楷书) style of the Tang dynasty stele known as the Shence Army Stele (神策军碑). To the right, a vertical panel displays a rubbing-style reproduction of the original stone inscription from the Shence Army Stele, providing calligraphic context. The vertical legend 中国书法艺术·古·颜玖·神策军碑 is inscribed along the left margin, identifying the calligraphic tradition. The denomination 100元 appears in the lower field. The composition celebrates the art of Chinese calligraphy as part of the People's Bank of China's ongoing commemorative series. |
