| Aversbeschreibung | The complete coat of arms of Barbados occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided into three sections bearing two sugar cane stalks and a pride-of-barbados tree, supported by a dolphin to the left and a pelican to the right. Above the shield rests a helmet with mantling and a crest depicting a crossed arm holding two pieces of sugarcane. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The legend BARBADOS arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, with the date 1995 inscribed in the lower field. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse depicts three bust portraits of early European settlers in period costume occupying the right-center field: a bearded man wearing a broad-brimmed hat in the foreground, a woman behind him, and a child partially visible to the lower right. To the left, a large square-rigged sailing vessel with full sails is shown underway on stylized waves, evoking the early 17th-century voyages to Barbados. The curved legend FIRST EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT OF BARBADOS 1625 arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the denomination FIVE DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Barbados commemorated the 500th anniversary of European contact with the eastern Caribbean a few years late — Columbus reached the region in 1492, but the island of Barbados itself was not formally encountered by Europeans until a Portuguese expedition, likely under Pedro a Campos, touched its shores around 1536. The Spanish and Portuguese largely bypassed it as a settlement site, leaving no permanent population when the English arrived in 1627 to find the island uninhabited.
The English landing at Holetown that year established the first permanent European settlement on Barbados — a distinction the island has marked with more historical pride than the Columbus connection this coin nominally celebrates.
