Grenada Silver

Let’s take in some more of the Caribbean. This time we take a dive around the island of Grenada. Hold your breath!

Obverse

A beautiful radial ripple pattern intersects this underwater scene. In between the ripples divers descent to a sunken ship situated inside a coral reef. With light playing from the ripples the whole coin comes alive. You almost imagine yourself diving in between a coral reef. A very good design execution.

Reverse

The big letters at the top reminds us, that Grenada, just as Dominic doesn’t mint those coins. The eastern caribbean central bank takes care of this. The reverse shows the logo of the bank, a pair of palm leaves with Queen Elizabeth II in the center.


Conclusion

This coin really makes me want to go for a dive. Preferably right next to a old pirate shipwreck. With a metal detector.

Elly is a bit sad, that fire dragons can’t dive.Still, that pirate treasure is tempting.

Mr @dwingsworld is the guy that would do just that to hunt for sunken treasure, his life's dream. And, I'll bring a Metal detector.

Detecting an old shipwreck would be a dream come true. But my equinox is only waterproof until 10 feet/3 meters so I'd need a shallow wreck :D

You and me both @bauloewe!! Have not looked where you are at but the east coast after hurricane season is pretty good for land searches.

Well I'm in Germany, so no luck there :) Although, there might be some hanseatic ship wrecks in the Baltic sea

Doesn't mean we can't make something happen buddy!

@kerrislravenhill it is indeed my pirate sister!! We all will reach those height or depths in this case! As long as we keep strong and focused!! Our crew is gonna show this world who runs who! Thanks for the mention and showing me another adventurer!!!

Dang, these Caribbean coins are pretty cool! I may have to keep an eye out for some of them.

They are certainly a beautiful series, I need to see where I can find the rest of this series as well :)
