| Obverse lettering | EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK 1 OZ .999 GOLD QUEEN ELIZABETH II TEN DOLLARS |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly stylized, front-facing view of a spiny lobster rendered in an ornate decorative style, filling the majority of the coin's field. The creature's broad carapace, prominent antennae, and segmented tail are depicted with intricate scroll and swirl motifs surrounding the body, evoking Caribbean marine imagery. Graduated circular pellets are arranged in arcing rows on either side of the central design, adding additional decorative texture to the field. The legend ANGUILLA arcs along the upper rim, while the date 2018 is incorporated within the lobster's tail segment at the lower center. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member states — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — making it one of the few monetary unions outside Europe to share both a central bank and a circulating currency. Gold collector issues under the ECCB umbrella are uncommon, produced in small quantities and aimed squarely at the numismatic export market rather than domestic use.
At 31.1 g of .999 gold, the face value of two dollars is purely nominal.
