1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Commercial Aviation

Bermuda's civil aviation history is unusually rich for an island of its size — the territory hosted one of the first transatlantic flying boat services, with Imperial Airways and Pan American Airways both operating joint Bermuda-to-New York and Bermuda-to-Southampton routes from 1937 onward. Darrell's Island served as the marine air terminal. This commemorative falls into a crowded field of Bermudian dollar issues from the mid-1980s, a period when the government issued thematic cupro-nickel pieces in volume for the collector market rather than circulation.
