Comment

Lobster is one of the most common and important exports in Anguilla's cultural history. Tourism is now a mainstay of Anguilla's economy, but other important economic activities include fishing, especially for lobster and conch, and constitutes a major export to other parts of the Caribbean and the United States. Due to its internationally recognized culinary community, the island of Anguilla has enjoyed a reputation as "the culinary capital of the Caribbean".

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique lobster design on the reverse side, which is not commonly seen on coins. The lobster is depicted in detailed relief, showcasing the intricate details of its shell and claws. This design choice was likely chosen to highlight Anguilla's rich marine life and the importance of the lobster fishing industry to the territory's economy.
