| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central bold-relief silver intaglio vignette presents two full-rigged sailing vessels — the Royal Rover and the King James — under sail off a rocky coastline, referencing the exploits of pirate captain Howell Davis, set against a 23K gold foil ground. Ornate floral and foliate borders frame both lateral margins, with denomination numeral "100" in shield cartouches at each corner. The issuer legend arcs across a banner at the top, with "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" inscribed along the lower panel. |

Antigua and Barbuda gained full independence on 1 November 1981, and this note was issued in direct commemoration of that event — which is why the piece exists at all. It is a numismatic souvenir item, not a circulating banknote, produced as a collectible from the moment of issue.
The bimetallic construction — .999 fine silver substrate against 23-karat gold foil — is the central technical point of interest here. Alan D'Estrehan handled the design, though documentation on the specific printer or fabricator for this unusual format remains thin in the standard references.
