| Reverse description | Two Brown Pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) are rendered in high relief against a coastal ocean background with clouds near the horizon. A full-figure pelican perched on a piling occupies the centre-left, while a second pelican is depicted in dramatic close-up in the right foreground, its distinctive large bill and textured plumage rendered with fine detail. The arc legend CARIBBEAN SILVER appears along the upper rim, and the inscription 1 OZ FINE SILVER .999 is engraved vertically along the right inner border, with the date 2020 below it. |

| Additional information |
Barbados has used the South American pelican as a national symbol since the colonial period, when the bird was abundant along the western coastline — though populations have since declined sharply. The Central Bank has issued a recurring pelican bullion series since 2020, positioning it as a direct competitor to better-established sovereign bullion programs from larger mints.
