| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member states — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, and Montserrat — making it one of the few remaining multi-nation currency unions still operating under a single issuing authority. This 2019 silver piece is a bullion-adjacent collector issue rather than circulating coinage; the ECCB has used the format to generate numismatic revenue for member governments, a practice formalized through its commemorative program in the 2010s. The Brown Pelican holds particular ecological significance in the region — it was removed from the U.S. Endangered Species List in 2009 following a decades-long recovery from DDT-driven population collapse.
