On the obverse side of the 2024 Colorized Silver Anguilla Regatta Coin is the official seal of the ECCB. Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory nestled in the northeastern Caribbean, is admired for its powdery beaches and high-end resorts. This small island spans just 35 square miles and supports a population of around 15,000, who have cultivated an upscale tourism economy without sacrificing their vibrant Caribbean heritage.

The reverse of the 2024 1 oz Colorized EC8 Silver Regatta Coin presents a fully colorized sailboat cruising across Anguilla’s glistening waters. The modern Caribbean regatta tradition gained momentum during the mid-20th century as many islands achieved independence and began embracing their nautical roots through organized sailing festivals and races.
