| Obverse description | A detailed relief of a multi-masted Spanish galleon occupies the central field, depicted broadside with full rigging and elaborate hull ornamentation. To the upper left, a circular arrangement of twelve stars — the European Community emblem — appears in the field. The denomination legend '100 ECU' arcs across the upper portion of the field in stylized lettering, while the issuer legend 'ESPAÑA' curves along the lower periphery in matching decorative script. |

| Reverse description | A truncated draped bust of Don Álvaro de Bazán, the celebrated 16th-century Spanish admiral, faces three-quarters to the right, wearing a ruffled collar and ornate armour with engraved detailing at the shoulder. The portrait conveys a mature, bearded effigy with strong facial features rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The curved legend 'DON ALVARO DE BAZAN' arcs along the upper left periphery. The date '1995' appears in the lower exergue, with the crowned 'M' mintmark of the Madrid Mint incorporated between the digits '19' and '95'. |
