| Reverse description | A bold profile view of the historic pinnace Deliverance occupies the central field, depicted in fine detail with its full complement of masts, spars, rigging, and a broad, sturdy hull rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The Deliverance was built in Bermuda in 1610 by survivors of the Sea Venture shipwreck and is an enduring symbol of the island's history. The legend BERMUDA 1977 arcs across the upper periphery, while ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS curves along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
Bermuda's gold centenary and jubilee issues of the 1970s were produced by the Franklin Mint under contract, a arrangement common among smaller Commonwealth territories that lacked domestic minting infrastructure. The Silver Jubilee series across British dependencies in 1977 resulted in a flood of commemorative gold from dozens of issuers simultaneously, which has historically suppressed collector premiums on individual territorial pieces despite low absolute mintages.
At .900 fine and just over 8 grams, this sits close to a quarter-ounce in gold content — a deliberate specification that made the bullion floor easy to calculate at point of sale.
