The design is framed by a decorative ring of tropical foliage encircling the rim. The country name and date appear as the primary legend, completing the composition in a naturalistic and vibrant style enhanced by applied color. |

| Additional information |
The Sisserou parrot — endemic to Dominica and found nowhere else on Earth — has been the centerpiece of Dominican national identity since independence in 1978, appearing on the national flag, making it one of the few national flags in the world to feature a living animal in its natural color. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues collector gold under a shared regional mandate, but individual member territories like Dominica frequently drive the specific subject matter, resulting in pieces that function more as sovereign mementos than circulating instruments.
The .9999 fineness places this above the standard .9167 crown gold, a deliberate choice for modern collector bullion within the ECCB's numismatic program.
