בריטי קריביים                    

Coins were introduced in 1955 in denominations of ​1⁄2, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cents, minted under the name of "British Caribbean Territories, Eastern Group". The ​1⁄2, 1, and 2 cent coins were bronze and of the same weight and diameter as British Pound Sterling farthing, ​1⁄2 penny, and 1 penny coins. The 5 cents coin was brass while the 10, 25, and 50 cents were cupro-nickel. These coins remained in circulation until 1981, with the exception of the ​1⁄2 cent, which was withdrawn in 1965. All coins bore the image of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse.
