| Obverse description | Central vignette in bold relief renders two sailing vessels — the pirate Charles Vane's ship and HMS Buck — in a dramatic nautical confrontation off a tropical shoreline with palm trees, executed in fine .999 silver intaglio against a 23K gold foil ground. Denomination numerals '100' appear in ornate cartouches at each corner, flanked by floral and foliate border columns in high relief. The title legend 'The Charles Vane and Buck' and the purity mark '23K' are inscribed above the central scene. |
