| Additional information |
Barbados has issued collector silver in the "Treasure Island" series tying into the island's maritime heritage and the broader Caribbean privateering history — though the Central Bank's foray into high-weight bullion rounds sits awkwardly between legal tender and novelty product. At 155.517 grams, this is a five-troy-ounce piece, a format that gained significant traction in the 2020s as mints and issuing authorities worldwide chased premium bullion buyers priced out of the one-ounce market.
KM#196 confirms official attribution, but Barbados outsources production of these issues rather than striking domestically.
