The trident, an ancient symbol of maritime power and dominion over the seas, finds an unexpected home in the heart of the Caribbean on the flag of Barbados.

In the obverse design of the 2024 1 oz Gold Trident Coin, the Scottsdale Mint features the Barbadian coat of arms. The national seal is a detailed emblem representing the nation’s past, its flora and fauna, and its hopes for the future. The national seal includes a shield with two forms of native flora, while the shield is supported by two heraldic creatures represented fauna native to the island and its surrounding waters.
For the reverse side of 2024 Barbados Gold Trident Coins, you will find the image of a trident head at the center. One hallmark of this series is the ever-changing background design element, one which often represents the seas surrounding the island nation. This year’s background design offers a glimpse of gently rippling water.
Barbados, like many Caribbean islands, owes its very existence to the sea. Formed by the accumulation of coral reefs over millions of years, the island emerged from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean as a testament to the creative and destructive forces of the sea. The trident, traditionally associated with the Greek god Poseidon and his Roman counterpart Neptune, serves as a fitting symbol for an island nation so intimately connected to the marine world.
These 2024 1 oz Barbados Gold Trident Coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The mintage for the 1 oz gold coin has been cut in half compared to 2023, with just 1,000 coins to be sold. Each coin is individually sealed in a capsule, while multiples of five are housed together on a chipboard.
