10 Dollars Coat of Arms

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — a monetary union that has held the EC dollar fixed at 2.7 to the US dollar since 1976 without a single realignment. Collector gold in this series is struck to bullion standard but denominated far below melt value, a deliberate legal-tender fiction common to modern commemorative programs.
