The obverse showcases a finely detailed engraving of the Radetsky, presenting its multi-deck structure, paddle wheels, rigging, tall masts and a fluttering flag. The inscription „Корабът Радецки“ and the year 1876 highlight the historic episode when Botev and his detachment commandeered the ship to join the April Uprising. At the bottom, a symbolic scroll reinforces the theme of patriotic struggle and liberation.

The reverse displays a refined wreath of roses, buds, leaves and ribbons, elegantly surrounding the inscriptions „Република България“, 100 Лева and 1992.
