| Obverse description | The obverse features a central recessed medallion bearing the coat of arms of Barbados, comprising two supporters flanking a shield surmounted by a helm and crest, with the national motto 'PRIDE AND INDUSTRY' on a scroll below. The legend 'BARBADOS' arcs above the arms within the medallion, and the denomination '25 DOLLARS' appears below. Surrounding the central medallion, the broad field is elaborately decorated with intricate guilloche engine-turned patterns interspersed with silhouetted outlines of world landmark architecture rendered in high relief, creating a dramatic interplay of mirror-polished and frosted surfaces. The inscriptions '1kg' and 'Ag999' denote the coin's weight and fineness. The entire design is contained within a raised polished rim. |

| Additional information |
Barbados has issued oversized silver pieces in this "Landmarks" series for several years, typically contracting production to European private mints — most commonly Scottsdale or B.H. Mayer's — rather than striking domestically. The Central Bank of Barbados has no sovereign mint of its own; all coinage is produced under contract, which means quality control and die work vary more than collectors sometimes expect at this price point.
