Obverse lettering 19 83 BARBADOS PRIDE AND INDUSTRY 500/1000 FINE GOLD
Reverse description A powerfully rendered full-length figure of Neptune (Poseidon), depicted as a muscular triton with a scaled fish tail, faces the viewer in a frontal standing pose turned slightly to the right. The god of the sea holds a tall trident upright in his left hand, with a sea serpent or conch shell visible to his right side. The figure is rendered in high relief with fine sculptural detail on the musculature, scales, and beard. The curved legend ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS arcs around the upper periphery in bold capital letters, flanked by a beaded inner border. The field is otherwise unadorned, allowing the Neptune motif to dominate the composition.
