| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, struck in bold relief on 23K gold foil, presents a central maritime vignette of turbulent seas and a rocky coastline rendered with fine sculptural detail. An oval medallion to the right bears a portrait bust, likely a royal effigy, while the national arms of Antigua and Barbuda appear in an oval cartouche to the left. Denomination counters reading "100" occupy each corner, and the legends are separated by ornamental guilloche panels along the upper and lower borders. |

This note belongs to the short-lived series of legal tender collector issues produced for several Eastern Caribbean states in the early 1980s, a period when small island governments were actively monetizing philatelic and numismatic interest as a revenue stream. Antigua and Barbuda had only achieved full independence in November 1981, and these silver foil notes were timed to capitalize on that moment — collector pieces dressed as currency rather than instruments intended for any float in circulation.
The .999 fine silver substrate laminated against 23-karat gold foil was a production technique associated with a handful of specialist printers courting newly independent Pacific and Caribbean nations at the time. D'Estrehan's designer credit appears on several issues from this wave.
