On November 30, 1966, Barbados achieved full independence and took its place among the nations of the world. The accompanying certificate of authenticity certifies that this coin-of-the-realm set is an original Proof Set of the first national coinage of Barbados, dated 1973. It was minted by the Franklin Mint under authorization of the Government of Barbados.
This coin-of-the-realm Proof Set is enclosed in a heat sealed plastic form tray to protect the coins and they have never been removed. It is recommended that, should you open the sealed plastic, the coins be handled only with a gloved hand, as contact with the skin can accelerate tarnishing.
