200 Dollars Eric Gairy, Carifta Exposition

Grenada issued this piece in 1969 to mark the CARIFTA Exposition, a trade fair tied to the Caribbean Free Trade Association founded just two years earlier in 1968. Sir Eric Gairy, then Premier of Grenada, was an enthusiastic backer of regional economic integration — though his political career would later be defined more by his advocacy for UFO research at the United Nations and his eventual overthrow in the 1979 New Jewel Movement coup led by Maurice Bishop.

The X# prefix in the reference indicates this is considered a non-circulating or pattern-adjacent issue rather than a mainstream circulation strike, consistent with the commemorative gold output of many smaller Caribbean territories in this period.
