Dominica is a mountainous island in the Caribbean, which is famous for its natural hot springs and tropical rainforests.

Three kinds of hummingbirds inhabit the island of Dominica: the Purple Throated Carib (depicted on the silver coin), the Antillean Crested, and the Green Throated Carib. These incredible small birds are capable of beating their wings about 70 times per second and are usually smaller than a pinky finger. These birds are important pollinizers, having crucial importance to the ecosystem.
