Barbados 1 dollar Sea Flying Fish PR69 PCGS proof CuNi coin 1982

The 1982 Barbados 1 Dollar Flying Fish coin is a brilliant representation of national pride and cultural symbolism. Struck in CuNi with Proof quality and certified PR69DCAM by PCGS, it combines numismatic artistry with remarkable preservation. The obverse displays the full coat of arms of Barbados: a shield with the bearded fig tree at its center, a helmet topped with the hand holding two crossed sugar canes, and two heraldic supporters — the pelican and the dolphin fish (mahi-mahi), both emblematic of the island’s natural heritage. Beneath the shield runs the national motto “Pride and Industry,” with the date “1982” and the inscription “BARBADOS” completing the composition. The reverse depicts the most iconic national symbol — a flying fish soaring gracefully above stylized ocean waves, with the denomination “ONE DOLLAR” inscribed along the lower edge. Often called “the land of the flying fish,” Barbados celebrates its maritime and ecological legacy through this design. With its sharp Proof strike, deep mirror fields, and near-flawless grade PR69, this coin is a remarkable addition for collectors of Caribbean and world numismatics, uniting history, wildlife, and heraldry in a single piece.
