The 2022 1 oz Barbados Platinum Flamingo Coin was manufactured with 99.9% pure platinum. Platinum has become a common metal type and is known to be used for items like coins or jewelry. If you haven’t purchased a platinum coin before, it’s beneficial to know that platinum is actually priced much higher than silver, making it a relatively popular precious metal.
The obverse of the 2022 1 oz Barbados Platinum Flamingo Coin shows two flamingos standing in their natural habitat. Behind them, palm trees spring up in the background. The design on this side of the coin zooms into one flamingo in the foreground, with the other standing slightly behind it. The value and release year of the coin are also on the obverse, along with the following two inscriptions: “BARBADOS” and “FLAMINGO”.
On the reverse of the 2022 1 oz Barbados Platinum Flamingo Coin is the Coat of Arms of Barbados. This important relic helps identify and honor the origin country of the coin. Among the features shown on the crest are a pelican, a fish, and the inscription, “PRIDE AND INDUSTRY”. The weight and purity are also on this side of the coin, along with the inscription, “BARBADOS”.
The characteristics of a flamingo are so well-known that it’s doubtful anyone wouldn’t recognize them in the wild or at a zoo. Overall, they are silly in appearance, yet charming in nature. Many people may believe that flamingos are born with their pink feathers, but this is not true. Baby flamingos are actually grey, but because their diet is typically rich in carotene-filled foods, over time their feathers develop more of a pink hue.
