| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, executed entirely in 23-karat gold foil relief, carries a panoramic landscape vignette across the central field, rendered in bold embossed relief to suggest rolling terrain and coastline. An oval medallion at the lower left bears the arms of Antigua and Barbuda, while a second oval cartouche at the lower right contains a portrait bust. The denomination '100' appears in raised numerals within scalloped cartouches at all four corners, with ornamental foliate border devices; the independence commemorative inscription and value legend are placed in the upper and lower border panels respectively. |

Antigua and Barbuda gained full independence on 1 November 1981, and this piece was issued to mark exactly that — a commemorative rather than a circulating note, which explains the silver-and-gold-foil construction entirely. Alan D'Estrehan, a local artist, was commissioned for the design, an unusual choice at a moment when most newly independent Caribbean states were still relying on British or American commercial printers for prestige items.
The .999 fine silver substrate laminated against 23-karat gold foil made these expensive to produce in small quantities and impractical to handle repeatedly — condition deterioration at the foil edges is a known and common issue with surviving examples.
