| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely engraved Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber), the national bird of Trinidad and Tobago, is depicted standing in full profile facing right, perched upon a naturalistic branch with foliage visible to the right. The large numeral 5 appears in the left field, with the word DOLLARS inscribed along the lower portion of the field beneath the bird. The design is rendered with exceptional detail against a deeply mirrored proof background, highlighting the bird's elongated curved bill and distinctive plumage through precise frostwork. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Trinidad and Tobago gained independence from Britain in 1962, but the decision to issue a native proof coinage series came only after the country became a republic in 1976 — the starting year of this run. The Central Bank used these proof sets partly as a foreign exchange instrument, marketing them to international collectors at a premium well above face value.
The .925 fineness matches traditional sterling silver, a deliberate nod to British minting conventions that the new republic had not entirely abandoned.
