| Additional information |
Barbados was one of the smallest nations to field a team at the 1986 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games, where the country competed across track, field, and aquatics. The .500 fine silver specification used here was a deliberate cost-reduction measure common to many Commonwealth commemorative programs of the mid-1980s, as rising silver prices had made the formerly standard .925 issues increasingly expensive to produce at accessible price points for collector markets.
