The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank replaced the East Caribbean Currency Authority in 1983, giving seven small island states a shared monetary institution modeled on conventional central banking principles. The Rafaello Maklouf portrait used on this issue — his second effigy of Elizabeth II, introduced across Commonwealth coinage from 1985 — was itself the product of a quiet bureaucratic dispute: the Royal Mint preferred an alternative sculptor's work, but Maklouf's design was ultimately selected by the Palace.
