| Additional information |
Anguilla's Regatta — officially the Anguilla Summer Festival — has been held annually since 1967, originally organized as a way to preserve traditional wooden boat-building and racing skills that were at genuine risk of dying out. The boats themselves are built without plans, shaped by memory and by hand, and races remain crewed by islanders rather than professional sailors.
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues commemorative gold under its collective mandate for the eight-member currency union, though pieces like this are struck for the collector market and never enter circulation in the territory they nominally represent.
