If you haven't yet seen a Barbados Trident, then you're in for a treat! Whether it's gold or silver, the Barbados Trident minted by Scottsdale Mint is a stunning piece! Each Trident is a proof-like strike, and the amount of detail they fit into each coin is impressive!
Obverse
The obverse features a simple, but elegant trident design. If you look closely, you can see small, ocean-wave-like lines that radiate out from the center. The dotted border adds a little extra "flavor" without detracting from the viewer's focus on the trident.
Reverse
The reverse features the Barbados Coat of Arms, depicting a dolphin and a pelican. On the shield is the bearded fig tree, which is the reason the island's name came to be. The island was called "Los Barbados," which means "The Bearded Ones."" The banner below reads "Pride and Industry." (Source)

If you have a chance to pick one of these up, I highly recommend it! They're even better looking in-hand!
Each month, I give away a $1 Goldback or 4 HBD. The winner gets to choose.
Note: Some countries may have prohibitively expensive shipping or delivery, which may not be feasible. I reserve the right to award the winner 4 HBD instead of a Goldback at my discretion.
