Obverse description	The central vignette, executed in bold .999 fine silver intaglio-style relief on a 23K gold foil ground, presents a dramatic naval engagement scene of a large multi-masted galleon listing heavily to port under attack by a smaller sailing vessel, with intricate rigging detail rendered throughout; a caption to the right of the vignette reads 'FRANCOIS L'OLLONOIS ATTACKS PUERTO CABALLOS.' Floral and foliate pilasters frame the left and right margins, denomination numerals '100' occupy each corner, and the gold-foil marker '23K' is inscribed at the upper left of the central vignette. The issuer legend runs in raised lettering across the top border and the value legend across the bottom.
