| Obverse description | The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) logo occupies the central field, flanked by the issuing authority's name arranged in a circular legend above. The weight, fineness, and denomination are inscribed in the lower portion of the field, reading '1 OZ .9999 FINE GOLD' and 'TEN DOLLARS'. The design is rendered in a clean, modern style consistent with bullion coinage issued under the ECCB mandate. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — though bullion collector pieces like this one bear no practical monetary relationship to the EC dollar used across those islands. The "Rum Runner" theme draws on genuine Caribbean maritime history: the same shipping lanes now romanticized were, through the 1920s, actively used to evade U.S. Prohibition-era enforcement, with schooners running dark between islands and Florida.
KM#21.1 designates this as the colored variant within what is likely a paired issue.
