Obverse description The central field features the coat of arms of Barbados, comprising a shield supported by a dolphin and a pelican, with the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY on a scroll below, all within a concentric border bearing the legend BARBADOS above and 5 DOLLARS below. Surrounding the inner border, an elaborately detailed annular band depicts a rich variety of marine fauna in high relief, including fish, crabs, seahorses, eels, sea urchins, lobsters, and a small sea turtle, evoking an underwater panorama. The outer legend UNDERWATER WORLD arcs across the upper rim, while the fineness designation 3 oz Ag 999 appears along the lower rim.

Reverse description A large, highly detailed sea turtle in high relief dominates the central field, depicted swimming to the right with flippers extended, rendered against a vivid blue-coloured background suggestive of open ocean waters. Surrounding the turtle, additional marine life including tropical fish, a manta ray, coral formations, and a smaller sea turtle are rendered in the blue-tinted field, creating a dynamic underwater tableau. Small marine motifs — including a crab, sea urchin, and turtle — are spaced at intervals around the raised border ring. The legend SEA TURTLE arcs along the upper rim, while the date 2018 is inscribed at the base.
