| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

This note belongs to the short-lived series of legal tender "art notes" issued by several Eastern Caribbean microstates in the early 1980s — a period when Antigua and Barbuda, having gained independence in November 1981, was actively asserting its separate identity through commemorative instruments. The pieces were produced as collectibles from the outset, never intended to pass through any till, and were marketed primarily to numismatists in North America and Europe.
The silver-and-gold-foil construction places it firmly outside conventional banknote manufacture — no central bank printing works handled these. Alan D'Estrehan's credit as designer is one of the few documented facts about the production side of the series.
