Key information

About the Algerian 100 Dinars Coin

This 100 Dinars coin reflects a modern Algerian minting style, combining a dual metal structure with detailed national and cultural imagery. The contrast between the inner core and outer ring is used not only for durability but also to separate design elements visually.

Obverse

The obverse is built around a circular inner core surrounded by a wide outer ring. Within the central field, three distinct motifs are arranged horizontally. On the left, a stylised palm tree is enclosed within a vertical, rounded rectangular frame, giving it a structured and almost emblem-like presentation. To the right of this, two circular medallions sit side by side, each containing a horse head in profile, facing slightly inward. These smaller elements are evenly spaced and aligned across the centre, creating a balanced composition.

The inner core has a smooth, slightly matte finish, which contrasts with the brighter outer ring. Around the ring, Arabic inscriptions curve along the upper and lower edges, following the circular form. The lettering is raised and cleanly engraved, with consistent spacing. The transition between the inner core and outer ring is sharply defined, giving the coin a clear layered structure.

Reverse

The reverse features a large, detailed depiction of a Barb horse’s head occupying the entire inner core. The horse is shown in profile facing right, with carefully engraved contours that define the muzzle, jawline, and muscular neck. Fine lines indicate the folds of the skin and subtle texture across the surface, giving the image depth without heavy shading.

The boundary between the inner core and outer ring is pronounced, creating a framed effect around the horse. The outer ring features a repeating geometric pattern of linked hexagonal or rounded shapes, forming a continuous band that encircles the central image. This patterned ring adds a strong visual rhythm and contrasts with the smoother inner field.

Above the horse’s head, the dates 2018 and 1439 are inscribed, following the curve of the inner boundary. The placement is slightly offset to the upper right, integrating naturally into the composition without disrupting the central focus.
