| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Central vignette in bold relief presents Captain Thomas Anstis's brigantine Good Fortune under full sail on open seas, with a second vessel rendered smaller in the right background, the whole framed by ornate floral and foliate columns at left and right. Denomination numerals appear in cartouches at all four corners, with the issuing authority inscription on a raised banner along the upper margin. The note is struck in .999 fine silver laid against a 23K gold foil ground, producing a vivid two-tone metallic contrast throughout the design. |

Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from Britain on 1 November 1981, and this note was issued to mark that event — one of the earliest numismatic releases under the new government's own authority. Whether it ever functioned as genuine legal tender in any practical sense is a separate question; pieces like this were conceived for collectors from the outset.
Alan D'Estrehan was a Antiguan artist whose work appeared across several of the new nation's early commemorative issues. The .999 silver substrate backed with 23-karat gold foil is a production method associated with a handful of specialist manufacturers catering to the Caribbean commemorative market in the early 1980s — technically ambitious for the period, and deliberately showy.
