| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issued this piece to mark Queen Elizabeth II's 1985 tour of the region, which included stops across several of the eight ECCB member territories. Such royal visit issues were a reliable revenue source for small-island currency authorities throughout the 1980s, and the ECCB produced several commemorative denominations tied to the occasion. Copper-nickel strikes of this type saw wide distribution as affordable keepsakes, while a proof version in silver was struck for the collector market.
