| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two colourised dolphins leaping dynamically from stylised ocean waves rendered in high relief across the lower field, their bodies applied in vivid shades of blue and turquoise colourisation against the burnished gold ground. An elaborately engraved decorative border of scrolling wave motifs frames the entire design. The country name 'Dominica' appears in raised cursive script along the upper arc, and the date '2023' is inscribed in the lower central field between the wave crests. The composition evokes the marine wildlife for which Dominica is celebrated, combining colourisation with traditional proof-finish craftsmanship. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank serves eight island territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — none of which operates an independent central bank, making the ECCB one of the few currency unions in the world where member states have no individual monetary institutions whatsoever. Collector issues like this one are among the few gold coins issued under the EC dollar authority, a currency that has maintained a fixed peg to the US dollar at 2.70 since 1976.
