1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Captain James Cook

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank rarely issues collector-oriented commemoratives, making this piece somewhat anomalous in their catalog. Cook's 1770 charting of the Australian east coast is the usual hook for such issues, but the ECCB's connection to Cook is more specifically tied to his second and third voyages, during which he made repeated landfalls throughout the Lesser Antilles between 1772 and 1779 — the territory the ECCB now serves.
