1 cent coin Barbados

1 Cent, Barbados (Issued 1973)

The Barbadian one cent was introduced in 1973, when Barbados left the shared Eastern Caribbean currency and issued its own national money, the Barbados dollar of one hundred cents. Struck in bronze with a warm reddish-brown colour, this small coin was made for everyday low-value payments and circulated widely across the island. It has a thin, lightweight flan and a plain, smooth edge typical of minor decimal coinage.

On the obverse, the coin carries the full coat of arms of Barbados. A shield bearing a bearded fig tree between two ‘Pride of Barbados’ flowers is flanked by a dolphin on the left and a pelican on the right, with a crest above of a raised arm grasping two crossed pieces of sugar cane. A scroll beneath bears the national motto “PRIDE AND INDUSTRY”, while “BARBADOS” curves around the foot and the split date “19 73” sits to either side, all within a beaded border.

On the reverse appears the broken trident of Poseidon, the emblem taken from the national flag, with the words “ONE CENT” arranged around it and the designer’s initials “PN” beside the shaft. A beaded circle frames the motif within the raised rim.
