The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, which manages the common currency for eight island territories, issued this proof gold piece in 2002 as part of a commemorative program marking Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee — fifty years on the throne. Gold proof issues from the ECCB are produced in extremely limited quantities and were never intended for circulation, meaning nearly all survivors remain in original packaging.
