Comment

1987, 1989, 1990 and 1991 dated coins have been reported for both KM#10 (bronze, 3.1 g) and KM#10a (Copper plated zinc, 2.5 g) but those years aren't listed in either KM or Schön.

Interesting fact

The 1 Cent coin from Barbados featuring Queen Elizabeth II (Light Version) was the first coin to be introduced in the country's decimalization process in 1987. It replaced the previous 1 cent coin that was part of the British West Indies currency system. This coin was specifically designed to be lighter and smaller than its predecessor, making it more convenient for everyday transactions.
