| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, which manages the shared currency of eight island nations including Saint Kitts, Antigua, and Dominica, rarely issues collector silver. This 2022 turtle piece is part of a broader regional push to generate non-circulation revenue — the EC dollar has been pegged to the USD at 2.70 since 1976, leaving the ECCB little monetary flexibility, which makes numismatic programs one of the few levers available for supplemental foreign exchange income.
