Montserrat Oriole - National Bird

This new 2020 Montserrat edition of the ECCB EC8 series celebrates the beauty of the island's national bird, the Montserrat Oriole. The celebration also recognizes that this particular oriole species has been identified to be a vulnerable species. As the national bird, there are certain protections that aid in efforts to support the species.

The highly attractive obverse is common to the series. The inset features the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Distinctive laurels of evergreen shrubs frame the portrait on either side, nearly filling the center inset. A narrow band encircles the rim, which includes the inscriptions, "EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK. 1 oz .999 SILVER . QUEEN ELIZABETH II . TWO DOLLARS."

The reverse features a stunning scene that focuses on a single Montserrat Oriole, perched on a branch. The incredible detail almost brings the bird to life. The background depicts the volcano, Soufriére Hills, (French for "Sulfur Outlet"). Acrid smoke and ash is shown rising high above the peak. Also displayed is the extremely rugged terrain that surrounds the volcano. Though previously, the Soufriére Hills volcano long lay dormant, in 1995 it again became active. This resulted in the southern portion of the island of Montserrat being designated as an uninhabitable exclusion zone. Inscriptions include "MONTSERRAT" at the top rim, and "MONTSERRAT ORIOLE" at the bottom. The 2020 issue date is displayed above the bird.

This 2020 1oz Silver Montserrat Oriole BU offering features a truly stunning scene, well worthy of its place in the 2020 ECCB EC8 eight-coin bullion series! Whether you are collecting the series, or just interested in this specific Montserrat release, you will not be disappointed. Go BOLD!
