| Obverse description | The central field bears the Barbadian coat of arms, flanked by the country name BARBADOS arched above and the denomination 5 DOLLARS below, with the national motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY on a ribbon at the base of the shield. Surrounding the central device within a raised inner border is a richly detailed frieze of marine fauna rendered in high relief, including fish, sea turtles, crabs, lobsters, eels, seahorses, and other Caribbean reef creatures. The outer legend UNDERWATER WORLD curves along the upper rim, while the fineness and weight specification 3oz Ag 999 appears along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a highly detailed, colour-treated depiction of a spotted seal pup emerging face-forward through a burst of teal-blue water, its large dark eyes rendered with extraordinary realism against a pale muzzle. The surrounding field is enamelled in vivid turquoise-blue and populated in relief with additional swimming seals and small fish silhouettes, evoking an underwater scene. A raised inner border separates this central composition from the milled rim, which carries small engraved marine motifs including a crab, sea turtle, crayfish, and shell at regular intervals. The legend SPOTTED SEAL arcs along the upper rim in incuse lettering, and the date 2020 appears in the lower exergue. |
