| Obverse description | The obverse presents a faithful reproduction of the obverse of the original Spain 100 Pesetas coin of Alfonso XIII dated 1897, set within a raised circular border. At center, the youthful right-facing bust of Alfonso XIII is depicted in high relief, rendered in a classical academic style consistent with late 19th-century Spanish coinage. The surrounding legend reads 'JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA' alongside 'ALFONSO XIII POR LA G· DE DIOS', attributing the commemorative issue to Juan Carlos I while honoring the original reign. The date '1897' appears as the historical reference date, with the actual year of issue '1999' and the Madrid mint mark incorporated into the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the design of the reverse of the original Alfonso XIII 100 Pesetas coin of 1897, enclosed within a raised circular border. At center, the crowned Spanish coat of arms is displayed between the twin Pillars of Hercules, each surmounted by a crown, reflecting the heraldic tradition of classical Spanish coinage. The surrounding legend references the Third Centennial of the House of Bourbon and identifies the coin as a constitutional regal issue. Additional inscriptions in the field indicate the face value of both the historic 100 Pesetas and the commemorative denomination of 80,000 Pesetas, along with the assayer's initials 'S.G.' and the standard mark 'V'. |
