Boasting a strong royal blue, the design features the portrait of late Queen Elizabeth II wearing the state diadem of George IV on the left of the obverse. The reverse design shows an illustration of a blue marlin jumping above the surface of the sea, and a deep-sea fishing boat in the background. The motif of a blue marlin fish continued to be used in later issues of $100.
