| Obverse description | The Barbados coat of arms occupies the central field of a polished circular flat panel set into the spherical coin body, surrounded by blue and green enamel representing the oceans and landmasses of Earth. The shield displays a bearded fig tree at its base flanked by two sugar cane stalks, supported by a dolphin (fish) dexter and a pelican sinister, surmounted by a helmet and mantling bearing a hand grasping two crossed pieces of sugarcane. A ribbon below bears the national motto in the legend. The issuer name BARBADOS arcs across the upper periphery of the panel, with the date 2022 divided either side of the shield, the denomination 5 DOLLARS along the lower arc, and the fineness notations 3 oz. and Ag 999 flanking the lower legend. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader wave of high-relief colorized silver issues that flooded the collector market in the early 2020s, this coin was struck under Barbados's long-standing licensing arrangement with the Pobjoy Mint and later European private minting houses — an arrangement that has made the island one of the most prolific nominal issuers of collector-market bullion despite having no domestic mint of its own.
The 3-troy-ounce weight places it in a tier favored by distributors for perceived value density relative to spot price premiums.
