Barbados 10-CENTS (KM12)
Laughing Gull
The Laughing Gull has appeared on Barbado's 10-cent coin continuously since it was first minted in 1973. Many coin collectors mistakenly call this bird 'Bonaparte's Tern'. As far as I can tell, there is no such thing. There is a 'Bonaparte's Gull', but it is not known in Barbados beyond rare accidental sightings.
