| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bare, truncated bust of Ronald Webster, First President of the Council of Anguilla, faces left in high relief, executed in a bold sculptural style against a deeply mirrored proof field. A small engraver's signature appears at the base of the truncation. The encircling legend commemorates the first year of Anguillian independence, with the date 11th July 1968 incorporated into the inscription. Webster's name and title are inscribed along the left and lower periphery respectively. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anguilla's 1968 coinage is one of the more unusual episodes in Caribbean numismatic history. Following the forced federation with St. Kitts and Nevis, Anguillan leaders staged a revolt in May 1967, expelled the St. Kitts police, and unilaterally declared independence — a secession Britain refused to recognize. The resulting coins, struck without Crown authorization, occupy a legal grey zone: issued by a self-declared government that technically did not exist under international law at the time of striking.
Britain eventually sent paratroopers in 1969. The coins predate that intervention by nearly a year.
