The reverse features Philip Nathan's standing Britannia design, with an ornate Oriental style border replacing the traditional legend. The inscriptions "ONE OUNCE 999.9 FINE GOLD" and "BRITANNIA" are instead located in the mirrored field on either side of Britannia's trident, with "2018" and "NATHAN" engraved in the rock landscape.

Centered on the obverse is Royal Mint Designer Jody Clark's elegant representation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II, D.G. REG. F.D., 100 POUNDS."
