| Obverse description | A richly detailed underwater and marine scene depicting the sealife of Anguilla occupies the central field. In the upper portion, a leaping dolphin is shown in profile above stylized wave lines, while in the lower field a large spiny lobster is rendered in fine relief amid coral formations. A wreath of palm or laurel fronds decorates the lower rim. The circular legend GOVERNMENT OF ANGUILLA runs along the upper periphery, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unadorned field with no design, legend, or inscription. This identifies the piece as an obverse trial strike, produced to assess the obverse die only. At the lower rim, within a small rectangular cartouche incuse into the edge, appears the maker's mark MET., likely referencing the Metaleurop or a related metallurgical contractor responsible for producing the trial planchet. |
