2018 St. Vincent & The Grenadines 1 oz Silver Seaplane Coin.
The 2018 St. Vincent & The Grenadines Silver Seaplane coin is another awesome product from the Scottsdale Mint and an early release in the EC8 series.
Since 2018 the Scottsdale Mint has been producing coins for the EC8(Eastern Caribean 8) encompassing 8 Caribean Island groups in the ECCB (Eastern Caribean Central Bank) who governs currency for these Island Countries. Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Commonwealth of Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada and Montserrat.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an island country located in the southeast border of the Caribbean Sea. This is where They filmed the Pirates of the Caribbean movies otherwise it is a fairly unknown island chain. Other then being in hurricane ally it is an island paradise with beautiful reefs and white beaches.
The obverse side freatures a frosted center with a side view of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a laurel wreath. The shiny outer rim is inscribed with EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK on the top, QUEEN ELIZABETH II on the bottom, .999 SILVER on the left and TWO DOLLARS on the right. This is the standard design for all of the EC8 series coins and was created by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The Reverse features a seaplane landing on the ocean in the center with a proof like finish in the background. The picture doesn't show it very well but there is texture throughout the background, more then just the waves the plane is making, simulating the ocean. The outer rim looks frosted but it is actually radial lines, as a measure to prevent counterfeiting. The outer rim is also inscribed with St. Vincent & the Grenadines on the top and 2018 on the bottom.

Poor Eli, looks really old here 😂
Yeah she does. 😂
Great Scottsdale product I have that one as well.👍
Seems like they are constantly putting out great stuff.
That's another cool-looking coin, Mike! I wonder if they'll mint any with Charlie's image on them. Is that newly acquired? Enjoy it!

Countries are slowly starting to change over to
the kings image but I'm sure it will take some
time. This is a 2018 coin so it is way to early
for his image.
I am sure it will. Yeah, that would be too early for his image. That's when he was still wondering if he ever would be King.
The Queen was pretty healthy back then.
Have a great day! 😆

The best and quickest way to get there is by float plane?
My style would be to get there by sailing ship. ☠️
They are actually known for sailing throughout
the islands, but I'm sure the fastest way to get
there is by plane.

Another one!!!
Okay, you've convinced me!
I'll get me some Caribbean coins.
You don't have to, but they do have some
amazing coins. 😁
Hi @maddogmike thank you for sharing another beautiful coin The 2018 St. Vincent & The Grenadines Silver Seaplane. It is very nice and inscribed in great detail which makes it so much more impressive. It is very small I just looked at the inches of 39mm diameter and 3.2mm thick. That is 1.53543 inches diameter and 0.125984 of an inch thick. I bet it's really something to see in your hand though. 😊 Have a nice rest of the week. Oh and I looked on the map of where Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Does the UK own Grenada? Didn't Margaret Thatcher bomb Grenada at one time? Or am I thinking of something else? Thank you. Barb 😊 !BBH !CTP

Thank you @bbhbot
It might seem small but it is the standard size of 1 ounce silver coins.
I believe Grenada is considered a independent island state within the Commonwealth of Nations which currently has the king as head of state.
OK thank you @maddogmike what I'm thinking of happened in the early 80s and it was confusing. Have a great weekend. I bet the coin is so beautiful in person 😀 !BBH !CTP
@maddogmike I just read on Google the US invaded Grenada in 1983. That's weird. I must have been confused at the time. I will read this and see what happened. What do you remember? Have a nice weekend Mike!
I was a senior in high school back then but I do remember we invaded Grenada and that is about all I can remember about it.
Yes same here I don't know why and Margaret Thatcher was angry. Have a nice weekend @maddogmike. 😊 !BBH !CTP
Nice coin. I love collecting pre-65 U.S. silver coinage. I also collect proof silver rounds. The seaplane round is exceptional. Thanks for sharing.
I don't have many older coins but I do love them, especially when they have some wear on them. Those older coins make you stop and think of all the travels and places the coins have been to.
Always sharing some fly coins 😂
Thanks, I try.
Scottsdale is a good brand, we don't see enough of that in Canadian retailers.
From what I have seen the people in Canada have
trouble getting their hands on a lot of silver.
It seems your selection is very limited.
This is a really nice coin with very good detail, Mike.
Thanks for sharing @maddogmike
