Obverse description	Central vignette in bold relief illustrates Easton's pirate fleet raiding the Newfoundland coast, rendered in high-relief intaglio style on 23K gold foil. The denomination "100" appears in scalloped counters at each corner, with ornate guilloche borders framing the composition along the upper and lower edges. The legend "GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA" runs along the top panel, with "ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS" in a ruled cartouche at the foot.

Reverse description	The reverse, struck in bold relief on 23K gold foil, presents a central maritime vignette of turbulent seas and a rocky coastline rendered with fine sculptural detail. An oval medallion to the right bears a portrait bust, likely a royal effigy, while the national arms of Antigua and Barbuda appear in an oval cartouche to the left. Denomination counters reading "100" occupy each corner, and the legends are separated by ornamental guilloche panels along the upper and lower borders.
