The obverse design features the Montefiore fountain in the foreground along with the circumferential inscription “The 375th Anniversary of the City of Bridgetown” and the years 1628 and 2003.
The reverse features Barbados’ Coat of Arms . The central element of this official emblem is a shield supported by a dolphin and a pelican, symbols of the island’s fishing industry.

Above the shied is a crest consisting of a raised forearm holding crossed sugar cane stalks above a helmet and mantling. A ribbon bears the inscription PRIDE AND INDUSTRY, the national motto.
