| Beschrijving voorzijde | The arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas occupy the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing a rising sun above a sailing ship, supported to the left by a marlin and to the right by a flamingo standing on native grasses. Above the shield rests a helmet surmounted by a blue marlin as crest. Below the supporters, a scroll bears the national motto in two lines. The circular legend 'COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS' arcs around the upper periphery, and the date '1983' appears in the lower field, all within a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bahamas achieved independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, making this 1983 issue a tenth-anniversary commemoration. Independence came relatively quietly — no armed conflict, no protracted constitutional crisis — following a landslide 1972 general election victory for the Progressive Liberal Party under Lynden Pindling, who had campaigned explicitly on a sovereignty platform. The PLP's dominance going into independence meant the new government had an unusually stable political foundation from which to build national institutions.
Pindling remained Prime Minister until 1992, and his image and administration are inseparable from Bahamian commemorative coinage of this period.
