2 Dollars - Elizabeth II General Charles George Gordon

Gordon's connection to the Eastern Caribbean is essentially nonexistent. This coin belongs to a wave of early 2000s commemorative issues produced by private minting houses under licensing arrangements with smaller currency authorities — the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank among the most frequently used — specifically because their nominal face values conferred legal tender status while the coins were marketed directly to collectors in Western Europe and North America. Gordon himself died at Khartoum in January 1885, killed when Mahdist forces breached the city after a 317-day siege, two days before a British relief column arrived.
