Additional information

Dominica's Imperial Amazon parrot conservation coinage of the late 1980s was partly a response to CITES pressure and international attention on the near-extinction of Amazona imperialis, whose wild population had crashed to an estimated 60–80 individuals following Hurricane David in 1979. The Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority authorized these large-format silver issues specifically to generate foreign exchange and fund wildlife preservation efforts — one of the more direct cases of a coin issue with an explicit conservation funding mandate rather than a purely commemorative rationale.
