| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank serves eight member territories under a single currency, a monetary union that has persisted since 1983 with remarkable stability by Caribbean standards. Grenada's nutmeg association runs deep — the island once supplied roughly a third of the world's nutmeg, and the crop's destruction during Hurricane Ivan in 2004 was an economic catastrophe from which the industry took over a decade to meaningfully recover.
This issue is part of the ECCB's broader bullion and commemorative program launched to give individual member states numismatic identity within the shared currency framework.
