Information about legend: EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK [value] QUEEN ELIZABETH II

The legend is displayed on the coinage of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The Eastern Caribbean Dollar is the common currency of all seven full members and one associate member. Six of the states using the EC$ are independent states: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The other two, Anguilla and Montserrat, are British Overseas Territories. These states are all members of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.

Queen Elizabeth II appears on the banknotes and also on the obverse of the coins. She is the head of state of all the states and territories using the EC$, except for Dominica. Dominica is nevertheless a member of the Commonwealth of Nations which recognises Queen Elizabeth II as Head of the Commonwealth.
