TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
GEORGE WASHINGTON
250th ANNIVERSARY OF BIRTH
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of George Washington on the obverse (front) side, despite being issued by Barbados in 1982 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the birth of George Washington. This is because the design of the coin was based on a portrait of George Washington that was originally created by the French artist Jean-Antoine Houdon in the late 18th century. The use of this image on the coin was likely chosen to honor the historical connection between George Washington and Barbados, as Washington had visited the island in 1751 and had a strong connection to its people and culture.
