| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a colourised scene of an 18th-century sailing vessel, evocative of the rum-running era, navigating open seas against a vivid maritime backdrop. The ship is rendered in full colour, highlighting the historical romance of Caribbean seafaring and the illicit trade in fine rum associated with Antigua and Barbuda. The inscription 'ANTIGUA & BARBUDA' appears along the upper legend, with the year of issue '2018' positioned in the lower field. The colourisation technique adds dramatic depth to the composition, distinguishing this issue as a decorative commemorative piece. |
