| Reverse description | A large three-masted sailing vessel under full sail occupies the central field, depicted navigating calm coastal waters with land or distant sails visible on the horizon to the right, evoking the mercantile trade of the Bahamas. The word BAHAMA arcs prominently along the upper legend in widely spaced letters. Beneath a thin horizontal line separating the ship from the lower field, the three-line Latin inscription EXPULSIS PIRATIS / RESTITUTA / COMMERCIA appears in bold Roman capitals, referencing the expulsion of pirates and restoration of commerce. A continuous beaded border frames the entire design. |
