| Additional information |
Barbados entered the competitive bullion market relatively late, and the Great White Shark issue was part of a broader push by smaller Caribbean nations to generate seigniorage revenue through collector-grade silver rounds dressed as legal tender. The Central Bank of Barbados has issued coins of this type under licensing arrangements that outsource both design and distribution to private minting operators — a common structure that places actual production far from the island itself.
The KM#96 reference anchors it in the Krause catalog, though these modern bullion-format issues are tracked inconsistently across standard numismatic references.
