| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the Trooping the Colour ceremony, with two large state trumpets depicted prominently in the left field, their bells facing outward. Behind them, the Queen's Colour — bearing the Royal Cypher and Union Flag pattern — is shown unfurled and suspended from a cord. To the right, a multi-line royal quotation occupies the field, interspersed with silhouettes of military jet aircraft in formation, evoking the RAF flypast that accompanies the annual ceremony. The designer's initials ha appear at lower left. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank serves eight member states simultaneously — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, and Montserrat — which creates an unusual political situation for commemorative issues: a coin must be acceptable across multiple sovereign and non-sovereign territories at once. This 2012 release coincided with Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee year, when the ECCB joined a broad wave of Commonwealth mints issuing commemorative silver in her honor.
Trooping the Colour has marked the sovereign's official birthday since 1748.
