| Reverse description | A finely detailed effigy of a flamingo stands in a shallow tropical waterway at centre, rendered in high relief with radiating sunburst lines emanating from behind the bird. Lush palm fronds frame the upper portion of the field, with a serene water and sky scene in the background. The legend BARBADOS FLAMINGO arcs across the upper field, while the date 2025 and a circular 5th Anniversary privy mark appear at lower right. The specifications 1G .999 PLATINUM are inscribed along the lower margin within the rectangular format. |

| Additional information |
Barbados has issued wildlife-themed bullion coinage with some regularity since the 1990s, and the flamingo — a species closely associated with the island's wetland reserves — has appeared across multiple denominations and compositions over the decades. The 1g platinum format places this squarely in the fractional bullion category that has expanded sharply across Commonwealth mints since roughly 2018, driven by collector demand for low-entry-point platinum rather than any monetary function.
