Discover the vibrant beauty of Montserrat with the 1 Troy Ounce Proof-Like coin, a legal tender marvel in Montserrat and the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) member countries.

A Celebration of Natural Heritage and Craftsmanship
Holding this stunning coin is like holding a piece of Montserrat’s lush landscapes. The Montserrat Oriole, with its striking black and yellow plumage, is not just a bird but a symbol of the island’s vibrant ecosystem and resilient spirit. This coin beautifully captures the oriole’s elegance, from the intricate detailing of its feathers to the lush tropical foliage that frames it.
The Montserrat Oriole: A Symbol of Resilience and Beauty
The Montserrat Oriole (Icterus oberi) is a bird of great significance and beauty, native only to the island of Montserrat. Discovered in the 19th century, the oriole is distinguished by its vibrant yellow and black feathers. The bird’s melodic song adds a delightful soundtrack to Montserrat’s verdant forests.
The oriole's habitat has faced numerous challenges, especially from the devastating volcanic eruptions of the 1990s and early 2000s that significantly reduced its population. Conservation efforts have been crucial in protecting this endangered species, with initiatives focusing on habitat restoration and protection. The Montserrat Oriole is now a proud symbol of the island’s commitment to preserving its natural heritage.
