5 Dollars Trident

Beschrijving voorzijde	The Barbados coat of arms at center, depicting the Golden Shield quartered with the Pride of Barbados flowers and the Bearded Fig tree, supported on the dexter by a dolphin symbolizing the fishing industry and on the sinister by a pelican recalling Pelican Island. Above the shield rests a helmet with mantling, surmounted by a crest consisting of an arm and hand holding two crossed stalks of sugar cane, emblematic of the island's sugar heritage. The design is set within a plain field with the country name and date forming the legend.

Aanvullende informatie	Barbados adopted the trident dollar as its currency unit at independence in 1966, pegging it to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 2:1 — a peg that has held without interruption for over five decades, one of the longest-running fixed exchange arrangements in the Caribbean. The Central Bank has leaned into that stability when marketing bullion issues, and this 2021 one-troy-ounce gold piece is part of a series designed explicitly to compete with the Maple Leaf and Britannia in the international bullion market. .9999 fineness rather than the older .9167 gold standard reflects that competitive ambition.
