| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican-born Black nationalist whose Universal Negro Improvement Association claimed four million members at its peak in the early 1920s. Garvey was deported from the United States in 1927 following a mail fraud conviction widely regarded — then and since — as politically motivated. Jamaica declared him a National Hero in 1964, the first to receive that designation.
The .900 fine gold specification follows the same alloy standard used for U.S. gold coinage prior to 1933, a deliberate nod to international bullion convention rather than any domestic tradition.
