| Reverse description | A large bottlenose dolphin leaping dynamically in a curving posture occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief against a polished background. Air bubbles are scattered in the upper field around the dolphin. The lower portion of the field depicts an intricate underwater coral reef scene with branching corals, sea anemones, a seahorse, and small fish in high sculptural detail. The denomination $1 appears in the lower central exergue in raised numerals, and the Pobjoy Mint mark PM is visible at lower right within the design. |

| Additional information |
The Pobjoy Mint, operating privately out of Surrey, has struck coins for over 40 dependent territories and small island nations since the 1970s — making it one of the most prolific private minting operations in the Commonwealth. This issue almost certainly targets the collector market rather than genuine circulation, a commercial model Pobjoy perfected by offering small jurisdictions a revenue stream through numismatic programs requiring no monetary infrastructure from the issuer.
