| Reverse description | Two Sisserou Parrots (Amazona imperialis), the national bird of Dominica, depicted in vibrant full-colour applied over a darkened, textured relief field evoking a rocky natural habitat. The birds are shown perched on a branch, facing each other in an intimate pose, their plumage rendered in vivid shades of blue, purple, green, and red. An inner decorative border of wave and diamond motifs frames the central colourised scene. The cursive legend 'Dominica' appears in the upper field, with the date '2021' inscribed above it. |

| Additional information |
The Sisserou parrot — endemic to Dominica and found nowhere else on earth — has been the country's national bird since independence in 1978 and appears on its flag, one of only two national flags in the world to feature a purple bird. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues collector coinage on behalf of its eight member territories, and Dominica has leaned heavily on the Sisserou as its signature subject. The colourisation on these ECCB silver issues is applied after striking, a process that has drawn collector debate about long-term adhesion stability on .999 fine surfaces.
