The inscription GEORGE WASHINGTON HOUSE BARBADOS curves along the lower rim in incuse lettering. |

| Additional information |
Robert Livingston administered the oath of office to George Washington in 1789 as Chancellor of New York — the highest judicial officer in the state — making him the only person to have sworn in a president who was not himself a federal official. He later negotiated the Louisiana Purchase alongside James Monroe in 1803, doubling the size of the United States in a transaction Napoleon pushed through partly to fund his European campaigns.
Barbados has issued commemoratives under its central bank authority through licensing arrangements common in the Caribbean numismatic market; the 2026 date places this outside any current circulation series.
