| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

Antigua and Barbuda gained full independence on 1 November 1981, and this note was produced specifically to mark that occasion — a commemorative issue rather than circulating currency. The combination of fine silver substrate against 23-karat gold foil was an unusual material choice even by the standards of the early 1980s commemorative boom, when newly independent Caribbean states were actively seeking revenue through numismatic programs.
Alan D'Estrehan's involvement places it within a small circle of Caribbean commemorative designers active in that period. These pieces were sold directly to collectors and never entered general circulation.
