| Additional information |
The "Rum Runner" designation references the illicit maritime trade that flourished across the Eastern Caribbean during American Prohibition — local schooners and shallow-draft sloops carrying rum from Barbados, Trinidad, and the French islands northward to the Bahamas and Florida coast, where it was offloaded under cover of darkness. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank's commemorative bullion program has leaned heavily into this regional history, issuing this piece through the same monetary authority that serves eight member territories including Antigua, St. Kitts, and Dominica.
The .9999 fineness matches modern investment-grade bullion standards. KM#13 places this squarely within a short series.
