| Reverse description | A large, naturalistically rendered sea turtle is depicted in full color, swimming diagonally across the central field, its carapace detailed in warm orange, amber, and teal tones with finely engraved scute patterns. A smaller, uncolored juvenile sea turtle appears in the upper left field, rendered in the polished gold of the coin's surface. The design evokes an underwater marine environment, with subtle water surface texturing visible in the upper field. The issuer name MONTSERRAT arcs along the lower border, separated from the inner field by a decorative ring, with the date 2022 inscribed centrally below the main motif. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank serves eight territories simultaneously — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines — a monetary arrangement dating to 1983 that makes attributing any single issue to a specific jurisdiction genuinely awkward. This piece is legal tender across all eight, though none of them operate a mint; production was almost certainly contracted to a private facility, as with all ECCB collector issues.
The applied color layer is a separate process added post-striking, which affects long-term preservation under certain storage conditions.
