| Additional information |
Issued to commemorate Pope John Paul II's visit to Saint Lucia on July 7, 1986, part of his broader Caribbean pastoral tour that year. The Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority coordinated similar commemorative issues across multiple member states for the same visit, making this one of several near-identical crown-sized pieces released simultaneously by different island nations — a detail that tends to suppress collector premiums despite the limited regional mintage.
