Obverse description	The central vignette presents a bold-relief intaglio rendering of Samuel Bellamy's pirate galley Whydah under full sail on open seas, executed in .999 fine silver against a 23K gold foil ground. Elaborate floral and foliate border ornaments frame the composition at left and right, with denomination numerals "100" set in oval cartouches at each corner. The legend "GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA" runs along the top border, with "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" inscribed in relief along the lower panel, flanked by decorative guilloche rosettes.
