| Additional information |
The "Rum Runner" issue commemorates the illicit maritime trade routes that operated throughout the Eastern Caribbean during Prohibition-era America, when bootleggers used the islands as staging points to move Caribbean rum north into U.S. waters. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has issued several gold collector pieces in this vein, leaning on regional smuggling history that the islands wear with considerably more pride than the United States ever acknowledged.
