Obverse: in the center of the coin is placed the double-headed eagle of the flag that was raised in Vlora. Below it is written the nominal value of 200 Lekë. Both together give the idea as if they are leaning on the railings of the balcony, a place where the flag of independence is raised. "100 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE" is written on the eagle's head. The stylistic motif of the tassels (fringes), which surround the flag as a frame, is repeated on this side of the coin.
Reverse: in the center of the coin is the portrait of Ismail Qemali, below the portrait his name. On both shoulders of the portrait are the years 1912 and 2012, respectively the year of raising the flag in Vlora and the one that marks the 100th anniversary of Independence. Like a halo, the words "SHQIPËRI - ALBANIA" are written in capital letters on the head and on them a motif, stylization of tassels, which surround the flag as a frame.
