| Reverse description | At the centre of the field, a large gold-plated Pride of Barbados flower (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) is depicted in high relief, its four broad petals and prominent stamens rendered with fine botanical detail and finished in selective gold plating. Arching across the upper left in a bold diagonal black panel is the legend NATIONAL DAY, while the date NOVEMBER 30TH, 2021 curves along the upper right, flanked by a trident emblem at the apex. A ribbon scroll in the lower field carries the motto PRIDE AND INDUSTRY. The face value 55 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines at the bottom of the field. A reeded border frames the entire composition. |

| Additional information |
The denomination of 55 dollars was chosen to mark Barbados's 55th anniversary of independence from Britain in 1966, the same year the island simultaneously shed its status as a Commonwealth realm and became a republic — an event that generated considerable international attention and a wave of commemorative issues from the Central Bank.
