The 2024 EC8 Grenada Shark Diver Gold Coin is the seventh release in Scottsdale Mint's EC8 Grenada gold series. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine gold, the coin features a striking colorized reverse that brings one of Grenada's most celebrated underwater experiences to life. Issued as legal tender of Grenada with a face value of 10 Eastern Caribbean Dollars (XCD), the coin combines investment-grade gold with an exceptionally limited collector mintage. With only 100 coins authorized worldwide, this release ranks among the rarest modern issues produced by Scottsdale Mint. Each coin arrives housed in a display box and protective capsule and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
Its .9999 fine gold purity exceeds the IRS minimum requirement of .995, making it eligible for self-directed precious metals IRAs.
Obverse – Eastern Caribbean Central Bank Seal
The obverse features the official seal of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB), a design shared across the EC8 legal tender coin program. The central emblem is framed by inscriptions that identify the coin's weight, purity, and denomination, including EASTERN CARIBBEAN CENTRAL BANK · 1 OZ · .9999 GOLD · TEN DOLLARS. The ECCB seal serves as the common authentication element across the series, regardless of which member nation is represented on the reverse. It reinforces both the coin's legal tender status and its connection to the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union.
Reverse – The Shark Diver
The colorized reverse portrays a diver descending through the clear waters of the Caribbean while sharks move effortlessly through the surrounding currents. Coral formations and marine life frame the scene, while beams of sunlight filter down from the surface above, creating a sense of depth and movement. The design is intentionally uncluttered, with only GRENADA and 2024 appearing as inscriptions. This allows the artwork itself to take center stage. The use of color highlights the vivid blue-green tones of the Caribbean Sea, contrasting beautifully with the warm hues of the reef environment and the brilliance of the underlying gold coin.
Rather than presenting sharks as objects of fear, the design captures the balance between diver and predator within Grenada's marine ecosystem—an encounter experienced by many visitors exploring the island's renowned dive sites.
Located in the southeastern Caribbean, Grenada is known around the world as the "Spice Isle."The nation consists of the main island of Grenada along with Carriacou and Petite Martinique, covering approximately 348 square kilometers.Its capital, St. George's, is widely regarded as one of the Caribbean's most picturesque harbor cities.
The nickname "Spice Isle" comes from Grenada's long-standing role in the global spice trade.The country is one of the world's leading producers of nutmeg and also cultivates significant quantities of mace, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Nutmeg is so important to the nation's identity that it appears on Grenada's national flag. While spices define Grenada on land, the country's marine environment has become equally famous. Crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, historic shipwrecks, and abundant marine life have helped establish Grenada as one of the Caribbean's premier diving destinations.
Among Grenada's most famous dive sites is the Bianca C., often called the "Titanic of the Caribbean."The Italian passenger liner sank in 1961 following an engine-room explosion and now rests off the island's southwest coast. Over the decades, the wreck has become an artificial reef supporting a wide range of marine life, including rays, barracuda, coral species, and sharks. Another major attraction is the Molinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park. Created in 2006 by sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, it was the world's first underwater sculpture park. More than 65 submerged sculptures now serve as artificial reefs while providing divers with a unique combination of art and marine conservation.
Sharks are a regular sight in Grenada's waters, particularly Caribbean reef sharks. The scene depicted on this coin reflects the type of open-water encounters that have made the island a sought-after destination for divers from around the world.
The EC8 series is produced by Scottsdale Mint under authorization from the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. The ECCB was established in 1983 and serves eight member territories that share the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD).
These member nations include:
Each EC8 coin is issued as legal tender of one of these member nations while maintaining a common monetary framework under the ECCB.The Grenada Shark Diver continues a multi-year program highlighting the natural beauty, history, and culture of Grenada through precious metal coinage.
The most obvious attraction is rarity.
With a mintage of just 100 coins worldwide, ownership is limited to a very small number of collectors.
The coin also combines several features that are rarely seen together:
For collectors of low-mintage modern issues, colorized gold coinage, or Caribbean-themed releases, it represents one of Scottsdale Mint's most exclusive offerings of the year.
