| Additional information |
Montserrat's currency history was effectively ended by the 1995 eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, which buried Plymouth — the capital and commercial center — under meters of pyroclastic debris and rendered the southern two-thirds of the island an exclusion zone. The Eastern Caribbean dollar has served as the island's circulating currency through ECCB membership, meaning a domestic Montserratian coinage series never materialized. This 2007 pattern, denominated in the never-adopted "Xeros Ceros," belongs to a speculative local currency proposal that went nowhere.
Pattern pieces like this were almost certainly produced in tiny quantities for presentation or collector purposes only.
