| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Belize occupies the central field, flanked by two bare-chested supporters — a mestizo woodcutter at left holding an axe and a Garifuna man at right holding a paddle — standing on a scroll bearing the national motto SUB UMBRA FLOREO. The shield displays crossed tools in the upper quarters and a British merchant ship under sail in the base. A mahogany tree surmounts the crest above the shield. The denomination ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS is inscribed vertically along the left and right periphery, with BELIZE arching across the upper legend. The date 1976 and the fineness inscription 500/1000 FINE GOLD appear in the lower field, all within a beaded border. |

| Obverse lettering | BELIZE SUB UMBRA FLOREO FM 1976 500/1000 FINE GOLD ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (Translation: I flourish in the shade.) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents an array of ancient Maya glyphs and numerical symbols arranged in a structured grid composition across the field, referencing the Maya calendar and day-count system. The glyphs are rendered in a bold, low-relief style evoking pre-Columbian stone carving traditions. Dot-and-bar numerals, characteristic of Classic Maya mathematical notation, are interspersed among the day signs. A beaded circle frames the entire design at the rim. |
