The calm waters of the Caribbean Sea are home to a variety of starfish species, including the soft cushion sea star and long-armed brittle stars that live among coral reefs and seagrass beds. These echinoderms play an important role in keeping marine environments healthy. By feeding on mollusks and cleaning reef areas, starfish help maintain balance in their ecosystems.

In Caribbean waters, starfish help move nutrients through the ocean’s food web and assist in spreading sediments on the sea floor. Around Montserrat—an island known for its recovery from volcanic eruptions—starfish have shown a strong ability to adapt. Their presence is a sign of healthy reefs and ongoing recovery in this vibrant marine environment.

Each 2024 1 oz EC8 Montserrat Starfish Gold Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coin is safely housed in a plastic capsule and issued as part of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank’s EC8 Series. It celebrates Montserrat’s marine life and its connection to the broader Eastern Caribbean currency union.

The obverse of the 2024 EC8 Gold Montserrat Starfish Coin features the seal of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. This institution manages currency and financial matters for several Caribbean islands, including Montserrat. Often referred to as the “Emerald Isle of the Caribbean,” Montserrat is famous for its green hills and the Soufrière Hills volcano, which began erupting in the 1990s and reshaped the island’s landscape.

On the reverse of the coin, a detailed image of a starfish honors one of Montserrat’s iconic sea creatures. The waters surrounding the island are rich in nutrients from volcanic minerals and are home to many starfish varieties like the royal sea star, cushion star, and even the rare nine-armed sea star.
