A scroll below the shield bears the national motto 'PRIDE AND INDUSTRY'. The legend 'BARBADOS' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the date '1995' appears in the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief with a polished proof finish against a mirror-like gold ground. |
