| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic high-relief scene of Boudicca, the Iceni warrior queen, standing upright in a horse-drawn war chariot as it charges forward. Her long hair streams behind her in the wind, and two female companions, believed to be her daughters, flank her at right. A massed army of soldiers bearing shields and spears fills the upper field in fine detail. The legend BOUDICCA·1stCENTURY is inscribed vertically along the left rim, and the engraver's mark appears in the lower left field near the chariot wheel. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued this piece as part of a broader commemorative program pairing Caribbean monetary identity with figures from British imperial history — an unusual curatorial choice that drew little comment at the time. Boudicca's relevance to the Eastern Caribbean is purely symbolic, filtered through the shared Crown rather than any direct colonial connection to Roman Britain.
Gold-plated copper-nickel issues of this type were produced in quantity for the collector market and saw essentially no circulation.
