| Reverse description | A multicolour scenic vignette occupies the centre of the note, with a tall palm tree rising above a tranquil Caribbean coastal bay framed by lush hillside vegetation and a small settlement along the shoreline; sailing vessels are visible on the water in the middle distance. At the lower portion, a swordfish is rendered in intaglio against a guilloche band, flanked by the denomination $100 at lower left. Decorative floral elements appear at the left margin, with the issuer legend EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK across the top and ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS at the bottom centre. |

| Comments |
The suffix-letter system used across this series is the ECCB's method of attributing notes to specific member territories without printing entirely separate issues — a practical concession to eight distinct governments sharing a single currency. The 'G' suffix pairing Venner's signature with a Grenada-attributed note is flagged as unlisted in standard catalog references, making confirmed examples worth documenting carefully.
Venner succeeded Jacobs as Governor in 1989, which is why Jacobs signatures dominate the earlier part of the issue window and Venner's appear across nearly the full territorial range thereafter. The absence of a Venner/Anguilla pairing and the St. Vincent Jacobs-only listing likely reflects printing batches rather than any administrative anomaly.
