| 背面描述 | The reverse presents a colourised rendition of Emanuel Leutze's iconic 1851 painting 'Washington Crossing the Delaware,' depicting General George Washington standing resolute in a boat amid his soldiers as they cross the icy Delaware River on the night of 25–26 December 1776. The composition is rendered in vivid polychrome enamel colour, with the early American Continental Colors flag billowing above the scene against a stormy sky. At center, a raised oval cartouche in mirror-proof finish bears the commemorative inscription in cursive script. The reverse border features a decorative milled wreath pattern, and the overall design conveys dramatic narrative depth through the contrast of coloured and relief elements. |

Barbados adopted the Eastern Caribbean Dollar as its currency in 1965, replacing the British West Indies Dollar, and has since issued commemorative coinage through the Central Bank largely targeting the collector market rather than circulation. This piece belongs to a well-established category of coin programs — produced by a small nation with no direct connection to the subject matter — that exist primarily because the licensing and minting infrastructure makes them commercially viable for international distributors.
Emanuel Leutze's 1851 painting of Washington's December 1776 crossing of the Delaware River was executed in Düsseldorf, not America, and contains numerous historical inaccuracies, including the wrong flag and an anatomically impossible boat configuration for the conditions that night.
