Comment

Montserrat is located in the Leeward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean, which is part of the chain known as the Lesser Antilles, in the West Indies. It is a British Overseas Territory whose nickname, "The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean" is derived from its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for its Irish ancestry (prisoners, indentured servants, forced laborers, and loyal opposition soldiery) of many of its inhabitants who began arriving on the island around 1632.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design that showcases a scenic view of Montserrat's coastline, including the island's iconic volcanic landscape and lush greenery. The design also incorporates the inscription "Emerald Isle of the Caribbean" to highlight Montserrat's reputation as a beautiful and verdant island in the Caribbean Sea.
