| Obverse description | The Arms of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas occupy the central field, featuring a shield depicting a British galleon above rising sun rays, supported by a marlin to the left and a flamingo to the right, with a conch shell and tropical vegetation as crest above. Two scrolled banners below the shield bear the national mottoes FORWARD TOGETHER and UPWARD ONWARD. The legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs along the upper rim, the date 2016 appears in the lower field, and the Pobjoy Mint mark PM is visible at the lower right of the shield. |

| Additional information |
The Golden Knights were the Royal Canadian Air Force's official aerobatic parachute team, active from 1971 — but that name belongs to the U.S. Army's demonstration team, not a Bahamian subject. Without reliable documentation of which "Golden Knights" this coin commemorates, speculation would be irresponsible. What is clear: the Central Bank of the Bahamas issued a series of copper-nickel dollars in this period targeting the collector market, with KM#228 falling within a run of commemorative circulation-strike types that rarely saw pocket use.
