| Obverse description | Central bold-relief vignette in .999 fine silver on a 23K gold foil field presents two full-rigged sailing vessels — the pirate brig Black Joke and her prize the Morning Star — under sail on a choppy sea with a rocky coastline in the background, illustrating the final act of piracy in the West Indies perpetrated by Benito De Soto. The denomination '100' appears in ornate cartouches at each corner, flanked by vertical floral and foliate border panels in high relief, with the issuer legend arched across the top and 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' along the lower border. |

| Obverse lettering | GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA 23K BLACK JOKE AND MORNING STAR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS |
| Reverse description | The reverse is struck entirely in 23K gold foil in bold relief, with a central vignette of a seascape or coastal landscape rendered in high-relief waves and rocky terrain. The Antiguan coat of arms appears in a circular cartouche at the lower left, while a portrait medallion — likely Queen Elizabeth II — occupies the lower right corner. The denomination '100' is repeated in ornate corner cartouches, and decorative floral guilloche borders frame the composition on all sides. |
