Scottsdale Mint, in partnership with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), is returning for the second annual release schedule of the extremely popular EC8 8-coin series, featuring the eight Eastern Caribbean Island nation members. Included are Antigua & Barbuda, Saint Kitts & Nevis, Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Anguilla, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, and Saint Lucia. The fourth new edition to release is this 2019 EC8 Grenada Diving Paradise 1 oz Colored Gold Proof.
Each of the first series 2018 8-coin editions quickly became best-sellers, and maintained strong series popularity throughout the full release cycle. Now, with this fourth 2019 release, the series is well underway! We are experiencing even greater response to each edition than in 2018.
The very attractive obverse will be common to all eight EC8 2019 releases. 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" at the top, and "1 oz .999 Gold . QUEEN ELIZABETH II . TEN DOLLARS" at the bottom rim.
This fresh, new 2019 reverse design captures a phenomenal scuba scene! As described by the mint, "The 2019 ECCB Grenada Diving Paradise 1 oz Gold and 1 oz Gold coins depict a lone scuba diver encircled by a massive school of rainbow runners ‑ fish known for subtropical migrations through the West Indies. The ocean water is colored a deep blue, giving a realistic feel to the scene. Grenada is most often described as a scuba diver’s paradise ‑ it is blessed with an abundance of shipwrecks, reefs, walls, and underwater sculpture parks. These features allure divers interested in immersing themselves within large schools of pelagic fish species including jack, creole wrasse, and rainbow runners."
Grenada is one of the finest and most popular tourist destinations in the Eastern Caribbean. Whether your interests include the pristine white sand beaches or the stunningly beautiful coral reefs perfect for scuba exploration, the water recreation opportunities are amazing! The centuries old historical landmarks and wonderful cultural events also provide insight into the mix of cultures of these warm and gracious islanders that make Grenada such a special place. Grenada is not only referred to as the Spice Isle of the Caribbean because of its centuries of international spice trade (primarily nutmeg). It can also be said that a week spent on this island can even bring a bit of spice back into your life!
Scottsdale is often envied by its peers for some of the most stunning and unique series designs in the private sector. The impeccable skill of its creative staff is clearly displayed with each new coin released. Though other mints may envy, Scottsdale customers anxiously await each release of their favorite series! Their anticipation is never disappointed.
