A new coin.
The Barbados 2 Dollars coin issued in 1983 is a superb proof-quality piece that celebrates the island nation’s marine life and strong connection to the Caribbean Sea. Struck in copper-nickel and carrying a denomination of 2 Dollars, this coin belongs to Barbados’ well-known wildlife series and is highly sought after in top-certified condition.
The obverse presents an intricate underwater scene featuring tropical fish swimming among branching coral formations. The larger fish dominates the composition with a rounded body, pronounced eye, curved fins, and finely textured scales, while a smaller fish swims nearby, adding depth and balance. The coral branches are richly detailed with dotted textures and organic shapes, creating a vivid marine habitat against deep mirrored fields. The inscription “TWO DOLLARS” curves along the lower edge, while a beaded border frames the octagonal coin shape, enhancing its visual appeal.
On the reverse, the national coat of arms of Barbados is displayed in sharp relief. The central shield bears a stylized bearded fig tree, flanked by a seahorse on the left and a pelican on the right. Above, a raised arm grasps two crossed sugar canes, symbolizing Barbados’ historical foundations. Below, a ribbon carries the national motto “PRIDE AND INDUSTRY.” The legend “BARBADOS” surrounds the design, with the date “1983” divided on both sides.
Certified PR70 by PCGS, this copper-nickel proof coin exhibits flawless surfaces, deep mirror contrast, and exceptional strike quality. A beautiful and perfectly preserved example of Caribbean marine-themed coinage, it is an outstanding addition to any elite world coin collection.
