The inscription DECADE FOR WOMEN curves prominently along the lower portion of the field. Two female gender symbols (Venus signs) flank the central design at the mid-field level. The entire composition is struck in proof finish with finely detailed relief. |

| Additional information |
Jamaica issued this coin as part of the United Nations Decade for Women, a global initiative running from 1976 to 1985 that culminated in the Nairobi Forward-Looking Strategies conference. The series prompted numerous Commonwealth nations to produce commemorative silver issues, most of them low-mintage pieces absorbed almost entirely by collector markets rather than circulation.
KM#126 saw limited distribution outside philatelic and numismatic bureaus.
