St. Lucia is one of the southernmost islands in the Caribbean Sea and is part of a subregion known as the Eastern Caribbean. The nation was a founding member of both the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, and is one of eight nations in the region that uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar as its fiat currency. These eight nations feature in the new EC8 Series from the Scottsdale Mint that has been in production since 2018.

Obverse

On the obverse face of 2020 Proof Colorized St. Lucia Whiptail Lizard 1 oz Silver Coins is Queen Elizabeth II. This depiction of the Queen comes from Ian Rank-Broadley and was produced for the Royal Mint of England in 1998. The right-profile bust of Elizabeth II captures the Queen with the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara on her head. The portrait is flanked by two branches, a unique aspect of the Scottsdale Mint effigy. Inscriptions read Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, 1 oz .999 Silver, Queen Elizabeth II, and Two Dollars.
