| Reverse description | The central motif is a vibrantly colored starfish depicted in full face, rendered in orange and red tones and adorned with applied teal and dark green gem-like accellents along each of its five rays, conveying a bejeweled naturalistic effect. The starfish occupies the majority of the field and is surrounded by an ornamental border of raised beads, ovoid pellets, and pointed projections arranged in an intricate decorative ring. The issuer name MONTSERRAT is inscribed in bold raised capitals along the lower arc of the border, while the date 2024 appears in the lower central field beneath the starfish, partially framed by its lower rays. |

| 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 — making it one of the few surviving currency unions outside Europe. Collector gold of this kind is struck specifically for the numismatic market; the ECCB's circulating coinage has never included gold in modern times.
The one-troy-ounce .9999 fineness places this piece in the bullion-plus category, where the colored finish commands a premium over spot that the secondary market does not always sustain.
