Obverse
The obverse design features the Eastern Caribbean Central Banks symbol, a simple composition that includes the ECCB initials inside a wreath of laurel branches. Founded in 1983 and located in St. Kitts and Nevis, the ECCB oversees the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union and has kept the regions currency stable at EC$2.70 to US$1 since 1976.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 2024 coin, two flamingos are shown standing and gazing at each other, their curved necks lifted. These Caribbean flamingos are known for their pink feathers, long legs, and unique beaks designed to gather food from shallow water. Their coloring comes from their diet of algae and shrimp. With their striking appearance, flamingos remain one of the most beloved birds of the region.
History
Caribbean flamingos have seen population growth in recent years, thanks to protected breeding spaces and conservation programs. Once impacted by hunting and shrinking wetlands, these birds are now thriving in places like Inagua National Park in the Bahamas and the Bonaire Flamingo Sanctuary. Their return has encouraged eco-friendly tourism and helped communities develop new, sustainable sources of income.
