| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a deeply struck astronaut's boot print impressed into a lunar surface, rendered in high relief to convey three-dimensional depth. The textured field surrounding the footprint replicates the pitted, cratered terrain of the Moon, with numerous circular craters of varying sizes distributed across the spherical surface. The design commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, evoking the iconic impression left by astronaut Neil Armstrong in July 1969. No inscriptions or legends appear on this face, allowing the central motif to dominate the composition entirely. |

| Additional information |
Barbados has issued collector silver in recurring wildlife and environmental themes since the 1970s, but the "Footprint" series represents a more recent pivot toward conservation messaging tied to Caribbean marine ecosystems. The specific design program behind KM#126 was part of a broader run of numismatic issues the Central Bank authorized through external minting arrangements — Barbados does not operate its own mint and contracts production abroad, typically through the Pobjoy Mint or similar private facilities.
Mintage figures for this issue were not widely publicized at release, which is characteristic of Barbados's smaller collector runs.
