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 collector coins under its jurisdiction. Some of these are in precious metals, but there are also coins in the quarter dollar (25 cents) denomination issued in base metals.

This coin was issued in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, and is part of the Queen Elizabeth II - A Royal Lifetime of Service series of 15 coloured designs each featuring a historic photo from a different period of her life.

The Queen 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.
