Historical significance
Following independence from Britain in 1966, Barbados established its own currency in 1973, replacing the East Caribbean Dollar. This coin reflects the national identity through its coat of arms and symbols like the bearded fig tree, from which the island gets its name ('Los Barbados' meaning 'the bearded ones').
Estimated value
$0.05 - $1.00 USD (Circulated condition)
Care & preservation
Handle the coin by its edges to prevent oils from your skin from staining the surface. Store in a cool, dry place inside an archival-safe holder or flip to avoid environmental damage and scratches.
