Obverse

The obverse of the 2024 Colorized EC8 Silver Flamingo Coin includes the official symbol of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. This design highlights the ECCB initials between large laurel branches. Since 1983, the ECCB has served as the financial authority for eight island nations, and it is based in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis. The bank continues to maintain a long-standing fixed exchange rate of EC$2.70 to US$1, a policy upheld since 1976.

Reverse

On the reverse, youll find a detailed color image of two flamingos standing close with arched necks. These Caribbean flamingos are known for their pink feathers and unique beaks that curve downward. They are often seen wading through shallow waters, feeding on organisms like brine shrimp and algaefoods that give them their vibrant appearance.

History

Though they may appear delicate, flamingos are well-suited to extreme environments, living in lagoons with high salt content. They make cone-shaped nests from mud to raise a single egg and share responsibility for keeping it warm. Flamingos also take part in group rituals, moving in sync to build stronger bonds within the flock.
