2018 1 Oz St. Kitts EC8 BU

First year of production and hard to find due to low mintages.

Obverse: On the obverse of the coin is the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. This coin collection uses the fourth-generation right-profile portrait from Ian Rank-Broadley that was created in 1998. The effigy is surrounded by two feathers. Inscribed around the outer edge of the obverse is the term "EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK" from left to right across the top. From left to right across the bottom are the purity "1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER", "QUEEN ELIZABETH II", and the denomination "TWO DOLLARS".

Reverse: The 2018 reverse features a finely detailed brown pelican, wings fully spread as it rides the coastal breezes off Saint Kitts and Nevis. The coastline stretches far into the horizon with clouds in the distance. Several sailboats navigate through the relatively calm waters. The entire scene is displayed in a circular inset that is positioned a little lower than the center. Very finely engraved wavy lines encircle the inset out to the rim. Interestingly, the offset circular inset allows the lines to be very close together at the bottom rim and then spread further apart toward the top. The tip of the brown pelican’s right wing has broken free of the inset and superimposes the fine lines. Inscriptions include “St. Kitts & Nevis” at the top rim with the release year positioned just below and inside the inset.
