| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago is centrally depicted in high relief, featuring a shield bearing three Spanish galleons and a scarlet ibis, supported by two Scarlet Ibises as dexter and sinister supporters, each standing upon a stylised wave base. The crest above the shield displays a ship's helm surmounted by a palm tree, flanked by two hummingbirds. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto in Latin script, reading TOGETHER WE ASPIRE TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE. The Franklin Mint mintmark FM appears in the field. |

| Additional information |
Trinidad and Tobago gained independence in 1962 but retained British coinage designs for over a decade before the Central Bank introduced a fully localized series in 1976. The 1973 pieces fall within the transitional period when the newly independent republic was still issuing coins bearing the Commonwealth portrait while the bank finalized its own distinct currency identity. KM#58 was struck at the Royal Mint.
