| Reverse description | A humpback whale is depicted in dynamic breach, its body rendered in vivid applied blue colouring as it leaps clear of stylised ocean waves occupying the lower field. Behind the whale, a radiating sunburst pattern fans outward across the mirror-polished field, creating a dramatic backdrop. The country name ST. VINCENT & THE GRENADINES arcs along the upper periphery in cursive script, while the date 2023 appears in the exergue below the wave scene. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues currency on behalf of eight member territories — Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Anguilla — a monetary union that has held the EC dollar fixed at 2.70 to the USD since 1976. Collector gold of this kind sits well outside that everyday mandate, produced primarily for the international bullion and numismatic market rather than any domestic need.
Humpback whales pass through Eastern Caribbean waters on their North Atlantic migration route, with the Silver Bank breeding ground off the Dominican Republic drawing populations that feed in northern waters through summer before returning each winter.
