Obverse
The inscriptions on this coin include BARBADOS, 2022, 3 OZ, AG 999 and 5 DOLLARS. What’s being called the obverse refers to the part of the coin where the Barbados national seal is situated. If you have the spherical coin displayed with the earth right-side-up, the obverse part would face down. The Barbados coat of arms is the same that you’ll find on most coins from this nation. It includes the symbolic elements that represent the country’s history, culture, geography, and industries, such as the dolphin and pelican supporters, the hand holding sugarcane stalks and the bearded fig tree on the shield.

Reverse

The reverse of this coin is actually the part that forms the rest of the ball and depicts the globe. The fields are covered in an eye-catching blue enamel that’s been manually applied. This blue expanse represents the oceans, gulfs, and seas on the planet. The landmasses are represented by raised fields that are finished in a lovely green color. The effect is of a bright, lush planet worth protecting.

Packaging

This unique coin comes with a special display box so you can set it up on a shelf or table. The display box protects the coin and allows you to enjoy this little piece of art for many years.

History

Science has measured the age of the earth as more than 4.5 billion years. Life on the planet, including the locations and shapes of the continents, has evolved continuously during those billions of years. Around 200 million years ago, for example, the supercontinent known as Pangea started to break apart during the Jurassic Period. The continents eventually moved into the formation known today.
