| Reverse description | Central composition depicts a family scene commemorating the 80th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II: a seated woman and a younger female figure are shown on a rocky outcrop at centre-right, while a kneeling male figure in the lower left strokes a recumbent dog. A gold-highlighted numeral '80' appears in the upper left field, referencing the Queen's milestone birthday. An inner border of raised beads frames the design, and the denomination TEN DOLLARS is inscribed in bold raised lettering along the lower arc of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, established in 1983 to serve eight small island economies sharing the Eastern Caribbean dollar, issued this commemorative outside its normal currency mandate — a function it has used sparingly for collector pieces tied to royal milestones. The 2006 date aligns with the Queen's 80th birthday, which prompted a wave of commemorative issues across Commonwealth minting programs that year.
KM#100 is one of several ECCB silver issues struck to the standard 28.28g/.925 specification widely adopted by Commonwealth mints in the 1990s and 2000s, meaning production almost certainly occurred outside the Eastern Caribbean region itself — likely contracted through the Pobjoy Mint or a comparable facility.
