| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues coinage on behalf of eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, and Montserrat — all sharing a single currency union established in 1965. These collector-oriented gold pieces sit well outside the day-to-day functions of that union, produced for the international numismatic market rather than any circulating need.
The applied color process on .9999 fine gold is technically demanding; adhesion issues are a known problem across the industry with this format, and buyers should verify the coloring remains intact at edges.
