The East Caribbean Territories were formed by Barbados, Leeward Islands, and Windward Islands in 1965 after the break-up of the former British Caribbean Territories. Barbados withdrew and started issuing its own coins in 1973. From 1981 it became the East Caribbean States. In its East Caribbean Territories persona coins were only issued dated 1980 and 1981. Our featured coin is a 10 dollars of 1980 which includes Caribbean Development Bank in its inscription.
