| Obverse description | A heraldic eagle with wings spread wide is depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, perched upon a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, evoking the iconography of the United States Bicentennial. The legend UNITED STATES curves along the upper periphery, while BICENTENNIAL arcs along the lower border, with the dual dates 1776 and 1976 flanking the central device. The design draws directly from American Bicentennial commemorative imagery, struck here as a Portuguese fantasy issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features an entirely text-based design within a plain field. The circular legend CONFEDERATION OF ANTARCTICA runs along the full periphery. Arranged in five lines at the centre of the field, the inscription reads GOOD FOR / 1/100 / TROY OZ. / 999 AG. / 2076, denoting the token's notional silver content and its futuristic fantasy date. The combination of a fictitious issuing authority and a date one century beyond the year of manufacture identifies this piece as a speculative fantasy token. |
