| Obverse description | A stylised palm tree is depicted at centre within a raised inner circle, serving as the central device of the design. The Arabic legend naming the Government of Bahrain arcs along the upper periphery, while the dual dates — both the Islamic Hijri year 1403 and the Gregorian year 1983 — are rendered in Arabic numerals along the lower periphery. The design is executed in the plain, modernist graphic style characteristic of Bahraini coinage of the Isa ibn Salman Al Khalifa era. The proof finish imparts sharp relief to all devices against a deeply mirrored field. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '100' in large Arabic-Indic digits occupies the upper portion of the field, with the Arabic word 'فلس' (Fils) inscribed in bold stylised lettering immediately below, together forming a prominent central denomination device. The English legend 'BAHRAIN' is engraved in widely spaced serif capital letters along the lower rim, providing the issuer identification in the Latin script. The fields are deeply mirrored in keeping with the proof standard of the issue, and the raised lettering displays crisp, sharp definition throughout. |
