The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank was established in 1983, replacing the East Caribbean Currency Authority, and this commemorative polymer note marks its fortieth year of operation. The ECCB serves eight member territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines — a currency union that has held together through repeated external shocks, including the 2008–2009 financial crisis and COVID-era economic contractions, with the EC dollar's peg to the US dollar at 2.70 unchanged since 1976.
De La Rue's SAFEGUARD™ substrate had already been used for the ECCB's regular circulating series, so this commemorative issue is a format extension rather than a material departure.
