A scroll below the shield bears the national motto EACH ENDEAVOURING, ALL ACHIEVING. The legend ANTIGUA & BARBUDA curves along the upper periphery in bold serif capitals, with two small pellets flanking the date 1988 at the base. |

| Additional information |
Antigua and Barbuda joined a wave of Eastern Caribbean states issuing large-format silver pieces during the 1980s, a period when several small island nations leveraged numismatic exports as a genuine revenue stream. The cattle egret itself is an introduced species to the Caribbean — originally from Africa, it arrived in the Americas in the late 19th century and spread rapidly, becoming a fixture of the islands by mid-20th century.
