The island nation Dominica is one of the youngest islands formed by a valcano in the carribean. Dominica is known as "The Nature Island of the Caribbean" because if its mountainous terrain and lush rain forests with an array of plants and wildlife. Dominica has some pretty cool things to offer and an interesting history that you can read about on their Wiki page.

The shiny outer rim is inscribed with EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK on the top, QUEEN ELIZABETH II on the bottom, .999 SILVER on the left and TWO DOLLARS on the right. This is the standard design for all of the EC8 series coins and was created by Ian Rank-Broadley.

The Reverse side features a woman lounging on rocks looking across a bay at valcanic mountains with a sea plain flying through. On the top is the name of the nation "Dominica" and around the outer rim there are ten five pointed stars.
