| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic effigy of a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) is depicted in left profile, foraging among low ground vegetation in the central field. The binomial scientific name 'Dasypus novemcinctus' appears in italic lettering to the upper right of the animal, with the legend 'Grenada Grenadines' and the date '2020' inscribed above. The denomination '200' in large numerals occupies the lower left field, with the currency designation 'EAST CARIBBEAN DOL.' to its right; the engraver's Cyrillic monogram 'ВБ' (Vitaly Bakhtinov) appears as a small mark to the right of the animal. |

| Additional information |
Grenada has no native armadillo population, and the nine-banded armadillo has no meaningful connection to the island's history, ecology, or culture. This is a bullion-adjacent novelty issue produced for the collector novelty market — one of dozens of wildlife-themed coins struck for Caribbean microstates by European minting houses seeking to exploit their issuing rights.
