| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barbados has issued hawksbill turtle coins intermittently since the 1970s — the species appears on the country's ten-cent piece and carries genuine national significance, as Barbadian waters host nesting hawksbills at sites like Cobbler's Cove. The 2018 issue belongs to a broader wave of large-format Caribbean wildlife bullion rounds that emerged after the Royal Canadian Mint's aggressive marketing of high-relief silver proved the format commercially viable for smaller issuing authorities.
Distributed primarily through the international bullion collector market rather than domestic circulation. The Central Bank of Barbados has contracted several such issues to foreign minting facilities, meaning the coin's physical production almost certainly occurred outside the island entirely.
