The portrait of Liberty faces right and is surrounded by 15 stars, representing the fifteen states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. The design retains the “LIBERTY” inscription and includes an updated “2024” date. The denomination is incused on the edge as “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT.”
Latin

The reverse (tail) design stays true to the 1794 original, depicting a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, an early predecessor of the American heraldic eagle. The inscription is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
