5 Banknotes, 10 Faces: The Eastern Caribbean Puts Its History on Paper

On the future EC$5 bill, the face of Grenadian Olympic champion Kirani James will appear alongside that of former Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Robert Milton Cato. This pairing encapsulates the ambition of the new series: to bring to life, through everyday gestures, the stories of those who have left their mark on the Eastern Caribbean.

After a career spanning more than thirty years, the Jamaican artist has found yet another medium through which to tell the story of her island.
