The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued this piece as part of a broader numismatic program targeting the collector market — a revenue stream the ECCB has leaned on since the early 2000s to supplement the challenges of managing a single currency across eight distinct island economies. The "Rum Runner" subject nods to the deep commercial history of Caribbean rum smuggling, particularly active during U.S. Prohibition between 1920 and 1933, when vessels operating out of islands like St. Pierre and the Leeward chain supplied bootleggers along the American eastern seaboard.
The colourisation was applied post-strike, as is standard for this series.
