The image is contrasted against a guilloche patterned background bearing the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “D.G. REG. F.D.” and “100 POUNDS.”
Reverse: The reverse depicts a White Greyhound with a chainmail texture in the background. The majestic creature is portrayed with a single paw resting upon a shield adorned with the Royal Crown above the Tudor Rose.
