A limited-edition commemorative coin to recognise Barbados’ 55th anniversary of Independence and the transition to a parliamentary republic has been issued.
The Central Bank of Barbados announced on Friday that the sterling silver coin with a gold-plated finish on one side, is a unique collector’s item.
A statement from the Central Bank said on the obverse side of the coin is a gold-plated pride of Barbados flower, with the words “Celebrating the 55th Independence and National Day November 2021” inscribed at the top, and the face value of $55 imprinted at the bottom.
“The reverse side features the coat of arms. The coins come with a certificate of authenticity stating that each one is made of .999 fine silver and plated with 24Kt gold.”
The Osborne Coinage Company in the United States of America minted the coins.
