| Obverse description | Central vignette in high-relief .999 fine silver presents the three-masted frigate Queen Anne's Revenge under full sail on open seas, with a lighthouse vignette to the left and floral laurel borders flanking both vertical margins. The denomination "100" appears in relief within oval cartouches at each lower corner, and the issuer's legend is engraved along the upper border on a 23-karat gold foil ground. The entire composition is executed in bold intaglio-style relief against the warm gold-foil field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, rendered entirely in 23-karat gold foil relief, presents a large central maritime vignette of a sailing vessel running before heavy seas, with wind-driven waves in deeply modelled relief occupying most of the field. Circular medallion cartouches at the left and right carry decorative emblems, while the denomination "100" is repeated in relief at each corner. Inscriptions along the upper and lower borders record the issuing authority, the Ministry of Finance attribution, and the November 1981 independence commemorative date. |
