Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1976 Barbados $5 Independence Silver Proof coin is that it features a unique reverse design that commemorates the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on November 30, 1966. The coin's reverse depicts a stylized image of a Bajan trident, which is a symbol of Barbados' cultural identity, surrounded by a wreath of sugar cane and a banner with the inscription "INDEPENDENCE 1966." This design was created by Barbadian artist and sculptor, Karl Broodhagen, and it is only found on this specific coin.
