| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency 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 — making attribution of any single ECCB coin to a specific nation a deliberate political choice. Grenada's nutmeg association runs deep: the spice appears on its national flag, and at peak production in the late 20th century, Grenada supplied roughly 20% of the world's nutmeg.
This piece was struck the same year Elizabeth II died, in September 2022, making it among the final ECCB issues to carry her effigy under active royal warrant.
