The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — none of which have independent central banks of their own. Collector issues like this one fund the ECCB's numismatic program while carrying nominal legal tender status across all eight jurisdictions simultaneously, an unusual arrangement for a wildlife-themed silver round.
