| Reverse description | A finely detailed depiction of the Torch Ginger Lily (Etlingera elatior), the national flower of Saint Lucia, shown in full bloom with its distinctive layered bracts and prominent central cone, the stem extending to the lower field. The floral motif is set against a textured, darkened background evoking tropical foliage, framed by an inner beaded border and an outer reeded rim. Above the bloom, the country name ST. LUCIA appears in cursive script, with the date 2021 inscribed below it in upright numerals. |

| Additional information |
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, which serves as the common monetary authority for eight island states and territories, began issuing collector-grade silver pieces in recent decades largely to capture numismatic revenue — a budget mechanism that has become standard practice among small-nation central banks with limited export economies. The Torch Ginger Lily (Etlingera elatior), native across the Caribbean and Southeast Asia, is the national flower of the Grenadines.
