Obverse

On the obverse of the 2024 EC8 St. Lucia Flamingo Silver Coin, youll see the Eastern Caribbean Central Banks official insignia. This includes the abbreviation ECCB enclosed by a wreath of laurel branches. The ECCB, founded in 1983 and located in St. Kitts and Nevis, is the financial authority for eight members of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union. Its dollar has held a steady exchange rate of EC$2.70 per US$1 since 1976. Inscriptions include EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK, 1 OZ .999 SILVER, and TWO DOLLARS.

Reverse

The reverse of the 2024 EC8 Flamingo 1 oz Silver Coin features two flamingos facing one another with curved necks raised high. These Caribbean flamingos are easily spotted by their pink coloring, tall stance, and beaks designed to feed on shrimp and algae. The bright color of their feathers is the result of pigments in their diet. These tall birds are one of the Caribbeans most well-known species. The inscriptions here include ST. LUCIA and 2024.

History

Flamingo populations in the Caribbean are making a comeback thanks to ongoing conservation efforts. After earlier declines due to human activity and shrinking habitats, protected reserves such as Inagua National Park in the Bahamas and the Bonaire Flamingo Sanctuary have helped secure important nesting areas. These successes are also boosting local tourism, as people from around the world come to see these bright birds in their natural homes.
