| 正面描述 | The coat of arms of Barbados occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by a pride of fish on the left and a pelican on the right, surmounted by a helmeted crest with two crossed pieces of sugarcane. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in the legend PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The date 2020 is divided across the field to either side of the arms, each numeral pair accompanied by a small trident symbol. The country name BARBADOS appears as a curved legend along the lower rim, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. |

Barbados has issued gold bullion coinage sporadically since the 1970s, but the 2020 Trident series marked a deliberate repositioning — the Central Bank contracting the Pobjoy Mint to produce a refined bullion program aimed squarely at the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The five-dollar face value is nominal; no legal tender transaction in Barbados has ever involved gold coinage at anything near spot.
The trident itself carries specific constitutional weight in Barbadian national identity, having been broken from Britannia's staff in a ceremonial gesture at the 1966 independence declaration.
