The legend DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH arcs prominently along the upper periphery, with the life dates 1650-1722 inscribed below, framing the composition. The design is executed in high relief consistent with commemorative medallic coinage. |

| Additional information |
The Duke of Marlborough connection here is Anguilla — one of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union's member territories — which issued this piece under the ECCB framework as a commemorative rather than a circulating coin. John Churchill, the first Duke, has no particular tie to the Eastern Caribbean, making this one of those mid-2000s commemorative programs where a British historical figure was simply licensed to generate collector revenue for a small island issuing authority.
