Comment
This is the third design in the Caribbean Silver series which has included the seahorse, pelican and now the octopus. Each year a new design has been minted. On each of the octopus' legs, tentacles are suction cups which help the animal attach itself to surfaces. An octopus releases black ink when threatened by predators.Interesting fact
The Barbados 1 Dollar (Octopus) 2022 coin is unique in that it features a 3D octopus design that appears to be raised from the surface of the coin. This was achieved through a special minting process that creates a layered effect, giving the coin a distinctive texture and depth.
