Basseterre, St Kitts, 29 January 2009

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) will issue a new one dollar ($1) coin in February 2009 in commemoration of the Bank’s 25th anniversary, which was celebrated on 1 October 2008. This issue of this coin is limited to 500,000 pieces.

The coin is round with ribbed edge and features the Bank’s laurel and the motto “Together We Stand”. The new coin does not replace the existing one dollar ($1) coins. The existing coins are still legal tender and will remain in circulation along with the commemorative coin.
