Barbados has maintained an unusually consistent numismatic relationship with American coinage iconography, and this 2021 issue marks the centennial of the original 1921 Peace Dollar — itself a coin born from post-WWI sentiment and a statutory mandate under the Pittman Act to restore silver dollars to circulation. The miniature gold format is a modern licensing and minting convention with no historical connection to the original issue.
