| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a vignette of Kensington Oval cricket ground, with its distinctive arched façade bearing the name 'The Oval', set against a green guilloche background. A scene of cricketers in play occupies the lower centre field, evoking Barbados's cricketing heritage, with the inscription 'The West Indies' visible in the background landscape. The denomination '$5' appears at upper right and the numeral '5' at lower left, with a transparent window element containing an image of the cricket ground visible in the lower portion. |

Barbados adopted polymer for this denomination as part of a broader series modernization, following a regional trend toward substrate-switching that has been underway in the Eastern Caribbean since the 2010s. The Canadian Bank Note Company has printed Barbadian currency for decades, and the Ottawa facility handles polymer production alongside its longstanding intaglio work.
The transparent window incorporated here is integral to the substrate rather than applied — a structural distinction that matters for authentication but is routinely overlooked by casual handlers.
