Obverse description Central vignette in bold relief silver intaglio presents two full-rigged sailing vessels at sea — the Cassandra (left, labelled '23 K') and the Fancy (right, labelled 'Cassandra and Fancy') — evoking the encounter between pirate captain Edward England and the merchant ship Cassandra. Ornate floral and scroll borders flank the design on both sides, with denomination numerals '100' set within cartouches at each corner. The issuer legend arches across the upper border and the value inscription runs along the lower border.
