Highlights
Obverse
Inscriptions on the obverse read BARBADOS, 2022, 5 DOLLARS, 3 OZ and AG 999. The coin is shaped like an old rotary phone from the mid-20th century. On the obverse, the location where a dial wheel might be is taken up by the standard obverse design on Barbados coins, including the nation’s seal. The seal is replete with symbols of the country, including a shield boasting the bearded fig tree and national flowers. Above the shield are a helmet and a hand holding stalks of sugarcane, which is an important crop in Barbados. The shield is supported by a stylized dolphin and pelican.
Reverse
Inscriptions on the reverse include THE TELEPHONE, ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL and 1922-2022. On this side of the 2022 Antique Barbados Alexander Graham Bell Telephone Silver Coin, you’ll find the stunning detail of a 24k gold-plated rotary dial wheel. The wheel is actually movable, which is a unique touch for any coin. In the background behind this design element is a picture of Alexander Graham Bell making a phone call, which is taken from the famous photo of the actual event. Other items related to building or using phones appear in the background.
