Antiguan teenager puts her stamp on the Commonwealth

Sixteen-year-old Rodajah Imani has designed the official coin for the CHOGM 2026 cricket match.

The young artist, a first-year student at Antigua and Barbuda College of Advanced Studies, won a competition celebrating Commonwealth unity.

Her design features cricketing legends, the Shekerley Mountains, the frigate bird and symbols of international friendship.

The coin is being manufactured in Britain by Vaughtons, which is also producing 5,000 commemorative CHOGM medals.

Not bad for a teenager whose artistic journey began in Grade Five. From classroom sketches to the international stage — quite a leap.
