| Obverse description | The national arms of Barbados are depicted centrally, featuring a shield supported by a Pride of Barbados flower on the left and a pelican on the right, surmounted by a helmet and a hand grasping two crossed sugarcane stalks. The date is divided on either side of the arms, flanked by two upward-pointing tridents. The country name BARBADOS appears in the legend at the bottom, while the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY is inscribed along the upper periphery. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Barbados made the switch to copper-plated steel for its cent coinage in 2007, driven by the same raw material economics that pushed dozens of issuing authorities away from solid bronze during the mid-2000s commodities surge. The magnetic composition distinguishes this type from the earlier KM#10 and KM#10a pieces and allows straightforward separation with a simple magnet — a detail that matters when culling mixed date runs from dealer stock.
