| Beschrijving keerzijde | Gold foil reverse executed entirely in embossed relief on a dark background, with the central vignette occupying most of the face and portraying two Mangrove Cuckoos amid mangrove vegetation — one bird perched on a branch with wings spread and a second bird below with beak open, set against a background of stylised tropical foliage. The denomination numeral 30 appears in ornate roundels at each corner, flanked by laurel-wreath borders, with decorative guilloche scrollwork filling the lower margin on either side of the THIRTY DOLLARS panel. |

Antigua & Barbuda gained independence on 1 November 1981, and this gold foil issue was produced as a commemorative rather than a circulating note — never intended to pass through any till. The "Elusive bird of the tropics" designation points to the Magnificent Frigatebird, Antigua's national bird, a species notorious among naturalists for its kleptoparasitic habits and near-inability to land on water despite being a seabird.
Gold foil notes of this period were a niche product aimed squarely at the souvenir and collector market, with no Pick number assigned and no redemption infrastructure behind them. Condition is almost entirely dependent on storage — the foil creases permanently and irreversibly.
