| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene of a female surfer lying prone on a surfboard, her long hair flowing behind her as she rides a wave, rendered in fine relief. Stylized sea grass or coral vegetation occupies the lower portion of the field, adding depth and a sense of the ocean environment. The inscription ST. KITTS & NEVIS arcs gracefully along the upper portion of the field in an elegant script typeface. The date 2022 appears to the right of the central design. The overall composition conveys motion and the distinctive Caribbean coastal lifestyle associated with St. Kitts and Nevis. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank serves eight member territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — and has issued collector silver almost exclusively for export revenue rather than domestic circulation. This 2022 piece falls within a broader ECCB bullion and numismatic program that accelerated sharply after 2019 as the organization sought hard currency streams independent of tourism, which had collapsed across the region during COVID-19 border closures. The "Surfer" designation places it in a themed series exploiting the Caribbean's recreational identity for overseas collector markets.
