2018 Antigua & Barbuda “Rum Runner” – 1 oz .999 Fine Silver $2 Coin

Issued in 2018 as part of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank’s EC8 coin program, the Antigua & Barbuda “Rum Runner” is a beautifully detailed legal-tender silver coin struck by the Scottsdale Mint.

The reverse depicts an 18th-century sailing vessel off the coast of Antigua & Barbuda, accompanied by barrels and a bottle of rum along the shoreline—a tribute to the Caribbean’s historic association with rum and maritime trade. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath, along with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank inscription, silver weight, purity, and Two Dollar denomination.
