The obverse of the coin displays the bust of King Charles III, which depicts him bare-headed (uncrowned) and wearing a suit and tie, facing left.

Below the shoulder truncation in tiny letters, the artist's initials DT (for Dan Thorne).

Above the effigy is the monarch's legend, on two lines separated by a horizontal line: CHARLES III AUSTRALIA.

Below the effigy, also on two lines separated by a horizontal line, the face value 100 DOLLARS and the precious metal content: 1oz 9999 Au (one troy ounce of 99.99% gold; Au is abbreviated from Aurum, the Latin word for gold).

The coin portrays an oriental dragon eyeing a flaming pearl, a symbol of wisdom. The background includes representations of water over which the dragon has control, and clouds, omens of good luck.
