On the night of December 16, 1773, a group of American colonists, cleverly disguised as Mohawk Indians to conceal their identities, boarded three British ships in Boston Harbor: the Dartmouth, the Eleanor, and the Beaver. These vessels were laden with tea from the British East India Company.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2023 Antique Barbados Silver Boston Tea Party Coin depicts the coat of arms of Barbados, featuring a fig tree flanked by two native flowers on a spade-shaped shield. The shield is supported by the Dolphin Fish and a Pelican, with a hand rising above holding sugar cane.

Reverse

On the reverse, you’ll find a captivating portrayal of the events of the Boston Tea Party. The primary image depicts a ship anchored in the harbor, with colonists in Mohawk attire discarding crates of tea overboard. The background field displays more scenes of American colonists protesting and discarding tea.

History

The British government responded to the Boston Tea Party with outrage. In 1774, they passed the Coercive Acts, which the Americans referred to as the Intolerable Acts. These punitive measures were designed to punish Massachusetts and bring the colony into line. They included the closure of Boston Harbor and the imposition of martial law.
