| Obverse description | The full national coat of arms of Trinidad and Tobago occupies the central field, featuring a shield divided by a chevron bearing three sailing ships, supported by an Ibis on the left and a Scarlet Macaw on the right, both standing on a grassy mound amid waves. Above the shield rises a helmet surmounted by a palm tree, with two hummingbirds flanking the crest as mantling. A scroll at the base bears the national motto legend TOGETHER WE ASPIRE TOGETHER WE ACHIEVE in raised Latin lettering. The Franklin Mint mark appears at the bottom of the field below the scroll. |
