| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a detailed vignette of the L'Adour steam locomotive (No. 312, dated 1856) rendered in a naturalistic style and set against a multicolour guilloche underprint in pastel shades of blue, pink, and yellow. A vertical text band along the left margin reads "ANTARCTICA" in large brown letters, while the denomination numeral "200" appears in ornate chain-style typography at the upper right, accompanied by the word "DOLLARS" below it. A hexagonal badge in the centre-left area identifies the subject as the "1856 L'ADOUR STEAM LOCOMOTIVE", with a facsimile Governor signature at the lower right. |
