| Additional information |
The Caribbean Development Bank, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Barbados, was established primarily to channel development financing into the smaller island economies that larger international institutions routinely underserved. This 1980 commemorative marks the bank's first decade of operation, issued across the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority's member states — Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts-Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent — at a moment when the region was still absorbing the economic disruptions of oil shocks and post-independence fiscal restructuring.
The copper-nickel composition mirrors the concurrent Virenium-alloyed issues but at substantially greater mass, placing it firmly in the struck-for-collectors category rather than general circulation.
