| Reverse description | The reverse, executed entirely in 23K gold foil high relief, presents a sweeping coastal landscape vignette occupying the central field, with rolling waves and a rocky shoreline rendered in fine intaglio-style relief. A circular medallion at lower left bears the arms of Antigua and Barbuda, while a portrait medallion at lower right carries a bust of Queen Elizabeth II. Denomination numerals '100' appear in scalloped cartouches at all four corners, with the independence commemorative legend and issuer name along the upper margin and 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' in a raised panel across the lower border. |
