What is Barbados?

Barbados is a beautiful island nation in the Caribbean Sea. Its official language is English and its capital city of Bridgetown, located on a large bay surrounded by low green hills.

Barbados has partnered with us to create beautiful and collectible 1 oz legal tender coins to represent their stunning country.

The largest Barbadian island - Carlisle Bay- has an area of 180 sq km giving it one of the highest stretches per capita ratios for any country. Barbados is known through out the world for its fishing.

The Barbadian people are known as warm, friendly and gentle. They enjoy a relaxed lifestyle taking time to celebrate their heritage in the way of carnivals, music festivals and local beauty pageants.

In 1966, Barbados broke away from the United Kingdom and became an independent nation. The broken trident shaft on top of their coat-of-arms denotes this breakaway period in history.

Barbados is also one of the only places you can visit where you can swim with the whale sharks. The Barbados trident is also a symbol of sovereignty. It is on the country's coat-of-arms, and it appears in many other instances including its flag.

What is 1 oz Barbados legal tender coin?

If a silver coin is legal tender, then it is an acceptable form of payment in a specific country.

Whats the difference between a coin and a round?

Wondering whats the difference between a coin and a round? Rounds are silver metal coins with no face value, they are not legal tender for a country. They can be purchased in mint condition or circulated like other silver coins. All of our coins are 1 troy oz 999 fine silver, and we guarantee every single bullion coin we sell.

In contrast, coins are made to be legal tender for payment, and they gain special designations under countries laws, and can sometimes be exempt from taxable situations.This means that coins will usually have a higher value than rounds and they're often worth more because because of those special designations.
