| Beschrijving voorzijde | Gold foil non-circulating note issued to commemorate Antigua and Barbuda's independence in November 1981, struck on a dark backing with all design elements rendered in raised gold relief. The central vignette presents a panoramic coastal landscape with rolling hills and shoreline, flanked on the left by an oval medallion bearing the national coat of arms and on the right by an oval portrait medallion of Queen Elizabeth II. Denomination numerals "30" appear in circular cartouches at each corner, with ornate floral and scroll borders framing the composition, and the title "THIRTY DOLLARS" set in a panel at the foot of the note. |

Antigua and Barbuda gained independence from Britain on 1 November 1981, and this $30 gold foil note was issued to mark that occasion — the denomination itself chosen to correspond with the date. The practice of issuing non-standard denominations tied to independence anniversaries was common across the Eastern Caribbean in this period, and Antigua followed it faithfully.
Gold foil "notes" of this type were never intended for circulation. They occupy an awkward category — part souvenir, part numismatic product — and were sold directly to collectors at or near face value.
