The 1976 Barbados 5 Dollars silver coin celebrates the island’s cultural heritage with a detailed depiction of the famous Shell Fountain. Struck in proof quality and certified by PCGS as PR68 DCAM, this coin was part of the Independence commemorative series marking a decade since 1966. The reverse presents the ornate fountain with water flowing gracefully from its sculpted shell tiers, encircled by a beaded border and the denomination “FIVE DOLLARS”. This fountain, located in the heart of Bridgetown, stands as a national symbol of tradition and elegance. The obverse displays the official coat of arms of Barbados, with the shield featuring the bearded fig tree, supported by a dolphin and pelican, topped with a knight’s helmet and crossed sugar cane stalks. Around it, the dual dates 1966 – 1976 emphasize the 10th Anniversary of Independence, accompanied by the inscription BARBADOS and national tridents. A shining example of numismatic art, this proof silver issue combines rarity, history, and beauty, making it an outstanding addition to any collection.
