The tradition of regattas in the Caribbean evolved from necessity-driven seamanship into organized sport as prosperous plantation owners and colonial administrators began sponsoring formal races, often coinciding with religious festivals or commemorating significant dates in colonial history.

On the obverse side of the 2024 Colorized Silver Anguilla Regatta Coin is the official seal of the ECCB. Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory nestled in the northeastern Caribbean, is admired for its powdery beaches and high-end resorts. This small island spans just 35 square miles and supports a population of around 15,000, who have cultivated an upscale tourism economy without sacrificing their vibrant Caribbean heritage.

The reverse of the 2024 1 oz Colorized EC8 Silver Regatta Coin presents a fully colorized sailboat cruising across Anguilla’s glistening waters. The modern Caribbean regatta tradition gained momentum during the mid-20th century as many islands achieved independence and began embracing their nautical roots through organized sailing festivals and races.
