2026 Barbados George Washington Crossing the Delaware 50g Silver Coin

A Dome-Shaped Tribute to American Independence

The crossing of the Delaware River on December 26, 1776, stands as one of the defining moments of America’s Revolutionary War. Against the odds, General George Washington led his troops through icy waters in a daring nighttime maneuver. The bold victory at Trenton the next morning revived hope for independence and changed the momentum of the war. The 2026 Barbados George Washington Crossing the Delaware Silver Coin captures this pivotal event with artistry, precision, and a design as striking as the history it honors.

Struck from 50 grams of .999 pure silver, this release takes shape through a unique domed minting technique. The curved surface highlights the dramatic scene in dimensional detail, bringing Washington’s leadership to life. Selective color printing enhances the river and uniforms, creating a powerful contrast that commands attention. At 50mm in diameter, the coin is both substantial in weight and visually impressive.

Limited Edition Craftsmanship

Collectors value rarity, and this piece offers exactly that. With a limited mintage of only 499 worldwide, it stands as a true numismatic exclusive. Each coin carries a face value of five dollars, issued under the authority of Barbados.
