Sir William Alexander Clarke Bustamante, National Hero of Jamaica (February 24, 1884 - August 6, 1977), was a Jamaican politician and labor leader. Achieving independence in 1962, Bustamante served as Jamaica's first Prime Minister until 1967. This beautiful proof silver Crown bearing the profile of this hero of the independence movement issued in 1972 marked a decade of Jamaican self-determination. Most poignantly Sir Bustamante died five years later on the fifteenth anniversary of Jamaica's independence.
