The main design features a portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. The upper part of the circumscription is inscribed with Chinese characters "In Commemoration of the Centenary of the Founding of the Republic of China."

Image:Reverse

The latent images of two Chinese phrases "the country is prosperous and at peace"(國泰)and "the people live in safety and happiness"(民安)overlap to form the shape of a Ruyi(如意). The face value 100 is inscribed with two latent images inside the two Arabic numerals 0. "Ag999", the Chinese character "Yuan"(圓), and "1 oz." are engraved below the denomination. Turning the coin slightly to the left or right causes the two different sets of texts and figures to appear alternately.
