| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued this piece to mark the 50th wedding anniversary of Elizabeth II and Prince Philip in November 1997 — one of dozens of near-identical commemorative programs produced that year by Commonwealth mints and currency authorities from the Falklands to Fiji. The ECCB, which serves eight island member states under a single currency, rarely strikes collector silver; most commemorative output from this authority is contracted to outside mints rather than produced domestically.
