2018 Great White Shark $5 Coin 3-Ounce Fine Silver with Ultra-High Relief, Enamel and Antique Finish

This ultra-high-relief three-ounce fine-silver coin spectacularly captures the ferocious power of the great white shark as it breaches the surface of translucent blue enamel ocean. And with a mintage of just 999 coins worldwide, sightings of this ocean predator will be very limited. The coin is dated 2018 and is legal tender in Barbados with a nominal face value of $5.

The great white shark has inspired awe and fear in pop culture for generations, with movies such as Jaws capturing the imagination and nightmares of a generation. While the shark presented here seemingly comes alive as it tries to jump out of the coin, it represents both the science-fiction vision and a reminder of the challenges faced today for the survival of a declining species that is now considered vulnerable.

The coin has a large 50-mm diameter and an antique finish. The obverse presents images of underwater life and features the coat of arms of Barbados. Around the obverse are the inscriptions "Underwater World," "Barbados," "5 dollars" and "3 oz Ag 999."
