    I rather like this design IMHO attractive in matte and original Mintage of 250 - and NOT released in any sets:

    What's the size and weight? It's a neat design.

    42 mm in diameter and 32.84 gms. Copper nickel composition. These were sent to the Central Bank and just what happened disposition wise is not clear with these.

    Nice design, yes, though generally matte finish doesn't do a whole lot for me. Nice low mintage, though I imagine demand is also pretty low?

    LOL, yes I think that is correct - low demand. Some years are devilishly hard to locate in uncirculated, esp. those versions not in sets for Barbados and some of the other Caribbean countries. Try finding matte Jamaica 10 dollars from 1975-77. I have only seen in over 40 years one each of the 75 & 77 and NEVER a 1976 despite what amounts to a full court press (thanks for term from basketball!) during that time interval by me in the search.
