| Obverse description | The denomination '100' is rendered in large, stylized numerals dominating the central field, with 'ECU' inscribed below in matching artistic lettering. The legend 'ESPAÑA' arcs across the upper portion of the coin in bold relief. A circle of twelve five-pointed stars, symbolic of the European Community, appears within a circular border at the lower center of the field. The crowned Madrid mint mark (M) is visible to the left of the star circle. The overall design employs a fluid, modernist style with sweeping curved lines framing the central elements. |

| Reverse description | Equestrian portrait of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V (Carlos I of Spain) depicted in full armor, mounted on a prancing horse facing right, holding a long lance or spear diagonally across the field in the manner of Titian's celebrated 1548 portrait. The emperor wears a plumed helmet and elaborately rendered plate armor. The circular legend reads '·CAES·CAROLVS·V·AVGVSTVS·IMPERATOR·' around the upper and lateral periphery, with the date '1989' flanked by two small dots at the lower exergue. The design is executed in high relief with fine detail in the horse's musculature and the emperor's regalia. |
