Each year, there is a new design to look forward to for each island represented in the EC8 Series. In 2021, the image for St. Vincent & The Grenadines features a Humpback Whale. This is an apt choice for this region, since its warm waters attract a truly diverse range of aquatic life, including whales. Vacationers may even get a chance to see these beautiful creatures since they have a habit of leaping out of the water before descending back into the depths. Whether they do this to fend off parasites or just because they think it’s fun, there is no denying it is a breathtaking sight to behold.
All 2021 1 oz Colorized Silver St. Vincent & The Grenadines Coins are proof specimens with mirrored finishes and frosted designs. The central Humpback Whale design is also rendered in stunning color. All coins include capsules and are housed inside presentation boxes that include Certificates of Authenticity from the mint.
A portrait of Queen Elizabeth II is shown on the obverse of 2021 Silver EC8 St. Vincent & The Grenadines Coins. Drawing inspiration from Italian coin engraver Benedetto Pistrucci, designer Ian Rank-Broadley depicts Her Majesty in right-profile relief wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Two curved leaves are shown on the sides and the coin’s hallmarks are inscribed along the rim.
A Humpback Whale is featured on the reverse of 2021 Colorized Silver EC8 St. Vincent & The Grenadines Coins. This beautiful artistic rendering almost seems lifelike thanks to the careful attention to detail and the use of color on the whale’s body. Behind the whale, we see a series of waves, while on the top and bottom of the coin are the words St. Vincent & The Grenadines and 2021.
