| Obverse description | Central vignette in bold relief on a 23K gold foil ground presents Thomas Cocklyn's Bird Galley, a fully-rigged sailing vessel under sail on a textured sea, with a smaller rowing boat in the right foreground carrying figures — a scene evoking the pirate captain's capture of the vessel. Ornate floral and foliate pillar borders frame the left and right margins, with denomination numerals "100" in each corner. The issuer's title appears in a raised ribbon cartouche at the top, with the ship's title inscription to the right of the central vignette. |

| Obverse lettering | GOVERNMENT OF ANTIGUA & BARBUDA 23K THOMAS COCKLYN'S BIRD GALLEY ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 100 |
| Reverse description | The reverse is executed entirely in 23K gold foil with bold relief, presenting a dramatic seascape vignette occupying the central field, with rolling ocean waves and a coastal landscape rendered in high embossed relief. A circular medallion to the lower left bears the coat of arms of Antigua and Barbuda, while a second medallion to the right carries a portrait bust. Corner denomination numerals "100" appear within scalloped cartouches, and the issuer's title, independence commemoration inscription, and ministry attribution are lettered across the upper register above the main vignette. |
