The second Eastern Caribbean 8 coin to be released in this batch is this terrific design for Dominica, not to be confused with Haiti’s next door neighbour, the Dominican Republic. Dominica is a stunning island, lacking the beaches the Caribbean is famed for, but replacing them with a rainforest replete with a breathtaking biodiversity.

The EC8 coins issued for the country have showcased some of it, and that’s the case again, with this pretty dolphin design showing a pair of them breaching the surface, bordered below by a flourish of waves, We think it looks great in standard bullion, and proof coloured forms.

As has always been the case for the EC8 range, there are bullion variants in silver and gold, and proof versions also in silver and gold, but sporting colour highlighting. All weigh a troy ounce each. For a better look at all four versions, and indeed, every other issue under this program, check out our comprehensive, and newly revised Bullion Series Profile.
