| Beschrijving voorzijde | Left-facing crowned bust of a young figure, the effigy wearing an ornate Tudor-style crown decorated with fleurs-de-lis, a cross pattée, and foliate scrollwork. The hair is rendered in tight curls visible beneath the crown. The field is plain, and the legend I·SERVE appears in raised Latin letters along the lower rim beneath the truncation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Barbados had no official colonial coinage in the eighteenth century — the island relied on a chaotic mixture of cut Spanish silver, countermarked pieces, and whatever copper tokens merchants could import. This piece is a privately issued token, almost certainly commissioned by local merchants or planters to address the chronic shortage of small change that plagued the Caribbean economy throughout the 1790s. The Lyall reference places it firmly within the documented series of plantation and merchant tokens circulating in the British West Indies during this period.
The Prid and KM attributions confirm it as a recognized type rather than an obscure local curiosity.
