| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, established in 1983, issues coinage on behalf of eight member territories simultaneously — meaning a single coin circulates as legal tender across Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The fourth portrait of Elizabeth II, sculpted by Ian Rank-Broadley and adopted by most Commonwealth territories around 1998, reached the ECCB series slightly later than many other issuers.
Production volumes for this type were divided among the needs of eight separate governments, keeping individual-territory attribution essentially impossible from the coin itself.
