| Obverse description | The Barbados Coat of Arms is depicted centrally on the obverse face of the spherical coin, rendered in antique silver tones against a colored blue field. The shield bears a bearded fig tree flanked by two pride-of-barbados flowers, supported on the dexter by a dolphin and on the sinister by a pelican, both rendered in fine relief. A helmet and mantling appear above the shield, topped by a hand grasping two crossed sugar cane stalks. The motto scroll below reads PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The legend BARBADOS arcs above the design, while the inscriptions 1 oz Ag 999, 2023, and 5 DOLLARS appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this spherical silver coin depicts the planet Uranus in high artistic relief, its entire surface colored in a vivid cyan-blue hue evocative of the ice giant's methane-rich atmosphere. Subtle swirling cloud formations and atmospheric disturbances are rendered across the curved surface, capturing the characteristic featureless yet textured appearance of Uranus as observed by space probes. The three-dimensional spherical format of the coin itself serves as the primary design element, transforming the coin into a miniature sculptural representation of the planet. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face. |
