| Obverse description | Gold foil note issued to commemorate the independence of Antigua & Barbuda in November 1981, with all design elements rendered in relief embossing on a monochromatic gold surface. The central vignette presents a panoramic aerial landscape of the island's coastline and terrain, flanked by a circular coat of arms medallion at left and a portrait medallion of Queen Elizabeth II at right. The denomination numeral '30' appears in all four corners within ornate cartouches, and a facsimile signature with the title 'Minister of Finance' is positioned at lower centre above the denomination legend 'THIRTY DOLLARS' in a decorative panel at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, struck in silver-toned relief embossing on gold foil, presents two naturalistic vignettes side by side: at left, a pair of Mountain Doves perched among foliage, and at centre-right, a Tree of Life rendered in fine relief with tropical blossoms extending to the right margin. Floral and foliate scroll borders frame the composition on all sides, with denomination numerals '30' in shield-shaped cartouches at the upper corners and circular cartouches at the lower corners. The inscription 'THIRTY DOLLARS' appears in a ruled panel along the lower border. |
