| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular silver bar-coin displays the coat of arms of Barbados in high relief to the left of the field, featuring the national shield supported by a seahorse on the dexter side and a pelican on the sinister side, surmounted by a bearded fig tree and crossed tridents as the crest. A scroll at the base bears the national motto in the field. To the right, the issuing country name BARBADOS appears at the top, followed by horizontal rules separating the date 2023, the denomination 5 DOLLARS, and the fineness designation 1oz Ag.999, all rendered in bold sans-serif lettering against a brushed field. |

| Additional information |
The Boston Tea Party has no geographic or political connection to Barbados, and that's precisely the point. The Central Bank of Barbados has issued a long-running series of bullion and commemorative pieces keyed to international historical events — a common revenue strategy among smaller island nations whose mints operate partly on collector demand rather than domestic monetary need. The 2023 date places this squarely in a post-COVID surge in silver bullion collecting that drove dozens of similar programs worldwide.
KM#344 is a modern struck piece with no circulation mandate.
