The numeral 100 appears at both left and right margins, and the bank title and denomination legend in English are lettered above and below the central vignette respectively. An elaborate guilloche border with foliate scroll corners frames the composition throughout. |

The Yemen Arab Republic's 100 Rial note of 1976 was printed by Bradbury Wilkinson at their New Malden facility, a firm that handled a significant portion of British-connected and Commonwealth-adjacent currency work through the postwar decades before being absorbed by De La Rue in 1990. Yemen was a natural client — the Central Bank had only been established in 1971, and the republic was still building the institutional infrastructure that the 1962 revolution against Imam rule had made necessary.
The watermark is the sole security feature, modest even by mid-1970s standards.
