| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing diademed and draped effigy of Queen Elizabeth II occupies the central field, flanked on either side by a large laurel branch forming a wreath-like frame around the portrait. The peripheral legend is divided into two arcs: the upper arc reads EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK, while the lower arc carries the inscriptions 1 OZ .999 SILVER, QUEEN ELIZABETH II, and TWO DOLLARS, all rendered in raised Latin lettering within a recessed outer ring. The portrait is executed in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, consistent with the Rank-Broadley effigy style used on Eastern Caribbean coinage of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A vividly colourised Caribbean Reef Octopus (Octopus briareus) is depicted in dynamic motion across the ocean floor, its tentacles extended as it glides past hydrothermal vents emitting jets of bubbling gas, a reference to the submerged volcano Kick 'Em Jenny located in Grenadian waters. The naturalistic colouring of the octopus contrasts sharply with the otherwise uncoloured silver field, drawing immediate visual focus to the central motif. The reverse legend, inscribed in raised Latin lettering, reads GRENADA above and 2020 below, identifying the issuing territory and year of issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues coinage on behalf of 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 operate independent central banks. This coin was never intended for circulation; the ECCB's bullion and collector program exists primarily as a revenue mechanism, with physical distribution handled through third-party dealers rather than any domestic banking channel.
