5 Dollars Theodore Roosevelt

Roosevelt's 1903 visit to the Panama Canal construction zone made him the first sitting U.S. president to travel outside the country while in office — a detail that has made him a recurring subject for commemorative issues from non-U.S. mints with no particular obligation to historical restraint. Barbados has issued a steady stream of silver rounds under dollar denominations with foreign historical figures, effectively functioning as bullion product with a nominal face value.

The Royal Canadian Mint struck this piece under contract, as indicated by the RCM catalog reference.
