ECCB unveils designs for new EC banknotes to replace QEII

Published on July 13, 2026

The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank has revealed the designs for the new EC Dollar. The banknotes have been redesigned to honour the people, heritage and achievements of the eight member countries of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).

The banknotes no longer feature the likeness of the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The $100 banknote features Sir William Arthur Lewis (Nobel Prize for Economics, 1979), and The Right Honourable Sir John George Melvin Compton (Saint Lucia).

The $50 banknote features former Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (1989–2015), The Honourable Sir K. Dwight Venner, and The Right Excellent Sir Robert Llewellyn Bradshaw (Saint Christopher [St Kitts] and Nevis).

The $20 banknote features The Right Honourable Sir Vere Cornwall Bird Snr (Antigua and Barbuda) and The Honourable Dame Mary Eugenia Charles (Commonwealth of Dominica).

The $10 banknote features The Most Excellent William Henry Bramble (Montserrat) and The Honourable James Ronald Webster (Anguilla).

The $5 banknote features The Right Honourable Robert Milton Cato (Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) and Sir Kirani James, LLD (Hons) (Grenada).

The new banknote series also features, for the first time, the ECCB logo encircled by the flags of the ECCU (the ECCU logo).
