| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two colourised bottlenose dolphins leaping dynamically in mid-air above turbulent ocean waves, rendered in vivid blue and cyan applied colour against a darkened, antiqued silver field. The finely engraved wave composition, with cresting breakers and rocky outcroppings at lower right, frames the central marine scene with considerable artistic depth. The country name DOMINICA appears in flowing cursive script along the upper field, and the date 2023 is inscribed in the lower central field below the dolphins. The contrast between the vibrant colourisation of the dolphins and the monochrome treatment of the surrounding design elements creates a striking visual effect characteristic of modern commemorative coinage. |

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues collector silver on behalf of its eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — none of which maintain independent central banks. This piece carries the shared $2 face value used across the EC dollar zone, a currency that has been pegged to the US dollar at 2.70:1 since 1976 without a single realignment.
