Gold Half Gram 2022 Queen Elizabeth II - In Memoriam, Coin from Barbados

Coin	Gold Half Gram 2022 Queen Elizabeth II - In Memoriam

The Barbadian Dollar has been the currency of Barbados since 1973, when it replaced the Eastern Caribbean Dollar. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively BBD $ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.

Apart from the regular circulating coinage, the country has also authorised some foreign mints to issue commemorative and bullion coins under its jurisdiction. Some of these are in the half gram of gold mini-coin format.

This coin was issued in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, and features her double portrait.

She was the shared monarch of many Commonwealth nations, and was the first and last monarch of Barbados; the country became a republic in 2021, before her death.
