| Reverse description | Two flamingos are depicted in elegant silhouette, rendered in a stylised manner against a finely engraved coastal landscape with rippling water in the lower field. The larger bird occupies the centre, its long neck gracefully curved downward toward the water, while a second flamingo stands to the right in profile. The cursive legend 'St. Lucia' appears in script lettering in the upper portion of the field, and the date '2019' is inscribed in the lower exergual area. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank issues collector coinage on behalf of its eight member territories — Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines — none of which maintain independent minting authority. This piece carries no single island's attribution, a deliberate arrangement that has defined ECCB numismatic policy since the currency union was formalized in 1983.
The American flamingo (*Phoenicopterus ruber*) is the only flamingo species native to the Caribbean, with significant wild populations in the region concentrated largely in the Bahamas and Cuba rather than the ECCB member states themselves.
