Silver Ounce 2020 Gecko, Coin from Anguilla - detailed information

Anguilla is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean which uses the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (EC$) as its currency; it is the common currency of six independent states and two British Overseas Territories. The EC$ has both common and national issues. All common circulating coins are issued under the authority of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank and have no issuing country specified on them. Separately, each member country can also strike coins bearing its national symbols; these coins are legal tender in all members states, and are usually commemorative or bullion not intended for general circulation. Most of the member states are also members of the (British) Commonwealth of Nations and share the same monarch with the United Kingdom, so that the effigy of the monarch is displayed on the coins and banknotes of the currency.

Anguilla has authorised some foreign mints to strike coins under its issuing authority for collector's purposes. Some of these are in popular bullion formats, such as one troy ounce (1 oz) of silver.

This coin is one of the two coins in the CeCo Edition (ceramic coins), and features an innovative ceramic coating.

Allcollect says about it:
For several years, we have been trying to produce a coin with ceramic coating. It took us this long because ceramic is not an easy raw material to work with. It requires high levels of heat to get a smooth surface. We have now reached a level where we can produce fully or partially ceramic covered coins, whichever is required.

The 1oz 999 silver coin with a sunbathing gecko is finished with real ceramic particles and rose gold. It is created with a very complex technique, since the even structure of the ceramic coating can only be achieved with great heat. The result is a premium-quality combination of matt ceramic and various, brilliant precious metals!
