The island of Montserrat was first visited by Europeans during the second voyage of Christopher Columbus to the new world. He landed on the island in late 1493 and had been told the island was unoccupied as a result of raids by native Caribs from other islands. Today, Montserrat remains a British Overseas Territory and is a member of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank system. Now, 2019 1 oz Colorized Montserrat Emerald Isle of the Caribbean Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Montserrat is thousands of miles away from Ireland, but the two island nations share a deep connection that covers centuries of world history. Montserrat is known as the Emerald Isle of the Caribbean, a name affectionately given to the island because of its physical resemblance to the coast of Ireland.
The naming was the result of the early European migration to the island. The first Europeans to settle the island were Irish-Catholic indentured servants from St. Kitt’s who came over in 1632 during the early English colonial period. The island is still a British Overseas Territory to this day and was one of the seven founding members of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. It is also one of the eight nations from the OECS that uses the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank as its central bank and monetary authority.
On the reverse of 2019 1 oz Colorized Montserrat Emerald Isle of the Caribbean Coins is the Harp of Ireland and four-leaf clovers. These design elements focus on the Irish history of the island. The Harp of Ireland features the female personification of Ireland known as Erin on the frame and is finished in a golden hue. The four-leaf clovers offer a burst of brilliant green in the design.
The obverse of 2019 Colorized Montserrat Emerald Isle of the Caribbean Coins includes the right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty’s bust is surrounded by two fern leaves to frame the imagery.
These 2019 1 oz Colorized Montserrat Emerald Isle of the Caribbean Coins comes with a protective presentation box and a numbered Certificate of Authenticity. The colorized releases in the EC8 Series are proof specimens with mirrored background fields and frosted design elements.
