For thousands of years, human cultures in Earth’s Northern Hemisphere have looked skyward and marveled at a seemingly magical and mysterious phenomenon: the dancing, colorful celestial waves of the Northern Lights playing across the stars over the landscape. A beautiful atmospheric spectacle that’s prized by skywatchers and also known as the Aurora Borealis, this captivating display is commemorated by Barbados in the form of a proof-like pure silver coin that’s sure to be equally prized by collectors. Colorized and featuring the brilliant backdrops of a proof-like bullion collectible, the 2023 5 oz Silver Barbados Northern Lights Coin is available for online purchase from the team at Silver.com.

  • Obverse side features the coat of arms of Barbados.
  • Reverse features a Northern wilderness scene underneath colorized Northern Lights.

The 2023 Silver Barbados Northern Lights Coin showcases the brilliant surfaces of a proof-like finish along with colorized artwork and graceful engravings. It ships in a themed display case with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Human cultures have been fascinated by the Northern Lights all the way back into remote prehistory when the oldest attempt at drawing them appears in prehistoric cave paintings in France from thirty millennia ago. The myths of the Inuit peoples explained them as the product of spirits playing ball in the skies overhead, while Vikings conceived them as light reflecting from the armor of the heavenly warrior maidens called Valkyries. Finnish myths conceived them as a species of aerial Arctic fox running across the sky, while in Greenland, they were believed to be the spirits of departed children. No doubt the modern scientific explanation — charged particles from the Sun interacting with Earth’s magnetic field — would seem no less fantastic to these ancient cultures.

From any vantage point, the Lights are mysterious, engrossing, and appear as such on the reverse side of the coin. A colorized reproduction hovers above a Northern landscape featuring a reindeer, a howling wolf, a log cabin, fir trees, and mountain peaks.

The obverse side features Barbados’ coat of arms against an abstract decorative backdrop. It is accompanied by the inscriptions “BARBADOS” and “5 DOLLARS.”

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
