Seahorses propel themselves by using a small fin on their back that flutters up to 35 times per second. Smaller pectoral fins located near the back of the head are used for steering.

There are 40 known species of the small marine fish and are named due to their head and neck resembling a horse. Seahorses prefer to swim in pairs with their tails linked together and mate for life.

Barbados Seahorse Series

This is the third coin in the Caribbean Gold series featuring the unique seahorse. Each year a new design features the seahorse or in this year's coin a couple of seahorses. The Gold coin was added on the second year of this series because of the popularity of the Silver and APMEX wanted to give customers another option for their collection. All previous coins in this program have sold out and are difficult to find in the market.
