| Reverse description | A finely engraved three-masted sailing vessel under full sail occupies the central field, depicted in profile moving to the right across a stylised sea, with a rocky coastline visible in the right background and smaller vessels in the distance. The word BAHAMA arches above in large spaced letters along the upper periphery within a beaded border.
