The bird's plumage is rendered with careful engraving, conveying feather texture and form. The denomination legend ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS arcs along the upper portion of the field in raised block lettering. |

| Additional information |
Grenada joined a wave of Eastern Caribbean island states in the late 1980s issuing large-format silver pieces aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation — a revenue strategy that became increasingly aggressive across the region following the 1983 U.S. invasion and the economic disruption that followed. The Royal Mint struck many of these issues on contract.
At 129.59 grams of .925 silver, these were never intended to pass through any till.
