| 正面描述 | The full Arms of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago occupy the central field, featuring a shield divided by a cross and charged with two hummingbirds and a ship, supported by an ibis dexter and a scarlet macaw sinister, both rampant. Above the shield rises a steel helmet with a palm tree as crest, while below a scroll bears the national motto in the legend. The motto legend TOGETHER WE ASPIRE - TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE curves along the lower rim within the scroll, rendered in raised Latin lettering. The composition is boldly struck in high relief against a plain field, with no issuer legend on this face. |

Trinidad and Tobago gained independence in August 1962, but the first national coinage didn't enter circulation until 1966 — a four-year delay while the Central Bank established minting contracts with the Royal Mint in London. This one-cent denomination was effectively obsolete almost from the start; inflation through the early 1970s rendered it useless in daily commerce, and the series was discontinued in 1973 with bronze cents quietly disappearing from circulation rather than being formally demonetized.
