| Additional information |
Barbados has featured the American flamingo on its coinage since the 1970s — the bird has appeared on circulation issues for decades, making it one of the more enduring national symbols in Caribbean numismatics. This 2022 gold issue follows a long line of bullion and collector pieces from the Barbados Central Bank leveraging that iconography for the international collector market.
At 31.1 g of .999 gold, this is a one-troy-ounce issue — a format that has dominated the modern bullion coin market since the Krugerrand normalized it in 1967.
