| Beschrijving voorzijde | A dynamic high-relief group of demonstrators—men, women, and children—fills the central field, rendered in a sculptural, heroic style commemorating the Anguillian Revolution. The figures are shown in animated poses with raised arms, evoking popular uprising and collective determination. A decorative wreath of two palm fronds tied with a ribbon appears in the lower exergue. The peripheral legend GOVERNMENT OF ANGUILLA arcs around the upper and lateral portions of the coin, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents an entirely plain, unadorned field with no design, inscriptions, or devices, consistent with its status as an obverse trial piece. A raised rim borders the blank field. A small rectangular maker's or assayer's cartouche is visible at the base of the field near the rim, typical of trial and pattern pieces submitted for official evaluation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
In 1967, fed up with being lumped into the newly independent state of Saint Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, Anguillans expelled the Saint Kitts police force and effectively seceded — making Anguilla one of the very few territories in history to revolt in order to remain a British dependency rather than gain independence. The provisional government that followed needed functioning institutions fast, and coinage was part of that effort. These trial pieces were produced in 1969–1970 as the breakaway administration tested designs and materials before full issues could be authorized.
The gilded brass construction of this trial distinguishes it from the silver intended for circulation strikes.
