The broken shaft of the trident on the Barbadian flag is particularly significant. It represents the island’s break from its colonial past, having gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1966. Yet, the trident itself remains intact, symbolizing the enduring connection between Barbados and the sea that has shaped its history, culture, and economy.
The obverse of the 2024 Barbados Gold Trident features the national seal. This detailed emblem includes a shield with Barbadian native flora present in the design, while the shield is supported on either side by heraldic creatures reflecting the native fauna of the island and its surrounding waters.
On the reverse of 2024 1/10 oz Gold Trident Coins, you will find a large trident head. The large trident head is set against a new background field for 2024, with Scottsdale Mint changing this background element each year. This year’s design includes waters that add a gentle ripple effect to the overall visual.
