1 oz Silver Coin - 2019 Trident - Barbados

The Barbados Trident



The Trident, a symbol of strength and power, draws its roots from the mythical Roman God of Freshwater and the Sea, Neptune. However, the Trident that serves as the national pride of Barbados and that is found on the Barbados national flag differs from Neptune's Trident in that the shaft of the Barbadian Trident is broken, symbolizing Barbados' historical break and eventual independence from the United Kingdom in 1966.

Issued from the country of Barbados, comes the third inaugural release in the limited mintage series featuring the striking Trident from the National flag of Barbados.

This coin is the third release in the 4 coin series all partnered with the country of Barbados. Each release will have a very limited mintage with the inaugural release having a maximum mintage of 30,000 coins.

• Obverse: Displays the Barbados coat of arms, the national symbol featuring the fist of a Barbadian holding two stalks of sugar cane. Upon the shield are a pair of the national flowers, known as the Pride of Barbados, and a single bearded fig tree. The shield is supported by a dolphin and a pelican. They stand for the fishing industry and Pelican Island, respectively.

• Reverse: Features the trident symbol as it appears on the Barbados national flag as well as the face value One Dollar and the year.
  

This coin is manufactured and distributed by Scottsdale Mint and is legal tender in the country of Barbados.

Authentic Feature

Both obverse and reverse rims feature wavy radial lines making the coins harder to duplicate and provide a measure of security.
