The effigy is surrounded by the Garter of The Most Noble Order of the Garter, on which is inscribed the royal motto · HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE · - in old French, "May he be shamed who thinks badly of it".

Around the outer rim, the monarch's legend and the face value: ELIZABETH II · D · G · REG · F · D · 100 POUNDS (Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith). Below, the date of issue · 2022 ·.
