2 Dollars Rum Runner, colourized

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.
