| Additional information |
Anguilla's 1969–1970 coinage exists because of a rebellion. When Britain merged the island with St. Kitts and Nevis in 1967, Anguillans expelled the St. Kitts police force and declared independence — an act London refused to recognize. The coins issued during this period were produced by the unrecognized provisional government as a deliberate assertion of separate identity, funding early administration and attracting collector revenue from abroad. Britain eventually negotiated a settlement, and Anguilla was formally separated from the associated state in 1980.
