| Obverse description | Central field features the ornate scripted monogram of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) set against a polished mirror field, enclosed within a wreath of two stylized laurel branches meeting at the base on a horizontal rule. The legend EASTERN CARIBBEAN BANK arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination and fineness inscription 1 OZ .999 SILVER · TWO DOLLARS runs along the lower periphery, all rendered in raised serif lettering against a milled border. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank's numismatic program has leaned heavily into regional maritime history, and the rum runner theme draws on a genuine smuggling tradition that thrived across the Lesser Antilles well into the twentieth century — particularly during U.S. Prohibition, when demand for Caribbean rum created a profitable black-market trade route north through the Bahamas and Florida. KM#18.1 designates this as a colourized variant within a broader release, a distinction that matters for registry sets where the two versions are tracked separately.
