| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Barbados occupies the central field, featuring a shield bearing a fig tree and two pride-of-Barbados flowers, supported by a dolphin (fish) to the left and a pelican to the right. Above the shield rests a helmet with a mantling and a crest depicting an arm holding two stalks of sugar cane crossed with a trident. A ribbon scroll below the shield bears the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The country name BARBADOS arcs along the upper legend, and the date 1994 appears in the lower field, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Pedro A. Campo was a Barbadian merchant and plantation owner of the late 18th and early 19th centuries whose role in the island's economic history has been periodically commemorated by the Central Bank's collector series. Barbados launched its silver commemorative program largely to serve the international collector market, with issues like this one rarely, if ever, entering circulation.
KM#59 is one of several .925 silver pieces issued by the Central Bank in the 1990s under the broader Caribbean heritage theme.
