Antigua and Barbuda 25 Cents Coin

This item is a circular coin, likely made from a copper-nickel alloy given its silver-gray color and typical appearance for modern coinage. The obverse side, which is visible in the image, features a central design of a classic sailing ship, possibly a carrack or similar vessel, with multiple masts and sails, navigating through stylized waves. The ship is surrounded by a wreath-like design, possibly of laurel or palm branches, signifying honor or victory. To the left and right of the ship, the numeral '25' is prominently displayed, indicating its denomination. Above the ship, curved along the upper edge of the coin, is the inscription 'ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA', identifying the issuing country. Below the ship, along the lower edge, the inscription '25 CENTS' is visible, confirming its monetary value. The coin exhibits a circulated condition, showing some surface wear consistent with handling and age. There are several minor scratches and scuffs visible across the surface, particularly in the fields surrounding the central design and lettering. The raised elements of the ship and inscriptions show some flattening, but overall, the details remain clear and legible. No specific mint marks, dates, or other manufacturing details are clearly discernible from this image. The style suggests a commemorative or standard circulating coin from the latter half of the 20th century or early 21st century. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard mint quality for a circulating coin, with clear engraving and a consistent strike.
