| Obverse description | The central vignette, executed in bold relief .999 fine silver against a 23K gold foil ground, presents a scene of Sir Francis Drake's galleon Golden Hind under full sail at left, with two mariners standing at the water's edge beside a rowboat at right, identified by the inscription 'Francis Drake's Golden Hind' to the upper right. Ornate floral and foliate pilasters frame both vertical borders, with denomination numerals '100' set within cartouches at each corner, and the legend 'GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA' arched across the top beneath a ribbon device, with 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' in bold lettering across the lower border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, entirely rendered in 23K gold foil relief, presents a panoramic coastal landscape vignette at centre, with rolling surf and a rocky shoreline receding into the distance.

The inscription 'INDEPENDENCE NOVEMBER 1981' appears below the upper border legend, with 'MINISTRY OF FINANCE' and 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' along the lower register, and denomination numerals '100' set within scalloped cartouches at each corner. |
