Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse presents a bold, oversized trident — the national symbol of Barbados — rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored, wavy field evoking the sea. The trident's three-pronged head and elongated shaft dominate the central field, with the design executed in a combination of frosted and polished finishes for dramatic contrast. A beaded inner border frames an annular legend reading .999 FINE SILVER to the left and ONE TROY OUNCE to the right. The denomination HALF DOLLAR is inscribed in large capital letters along the lower periphery within the beaded border.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Barbados adopted the trident dollar as its decimal currency in 1973, breaking from the Eastern Caribbean Dollar shared by its neighbors — a deliberate assertion of monetary independence following independence from Britain in 1966. The central bank has issued silver bullion pieces in this series for years, targeting the collector and investor market rather than circulation.
