| Aanvullende informatie |
Robert Clive's connection to the Eastern Caribbean is essentially nonexistent — he made his name in Bengal, not the West Indies. This coin belongs to a class of collector-targeted commemoratives issued by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank in the early 2000s that had little to do with regional history and everything to do with licensing recognizable British imperial figures for export sales. The ECCB issued a substantial run of such pieces under Elizabeth II authority.
Clive died in 1774, almost certainly by his own hand, following a parliamentary inquiry into his conduct in India.
