Informazioni aggiuntive	Barbados gained independence from Britain on November 30, 1966, and the tenth anniversary in 1976 prompted a coordinated series of commemorative issues across multiple denominations. The proof silver version was struck for the collector market, almost certainly by the Royal Canadian Mint, which handled the majority of Barbadian commemorative coinage during this period — a practical arrangement given the island's lack of minting infrastructure. KM#26a distinguishes the .925 silver proof from the standard copper-nickel circulation strike catalogued separately.
