| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in Arnold Machin's second portrait design. The truncated bust is unadorned, with the Queen's hair elaborately dressed and adorned with a pearl-studded diadem. The circumferential legend reads 'ELIZABETH II' to the left and 'BAHAMA ISLANDS' to the right, separated by the scalloped rim. A fine inner beaded border frames the field throughout. |

| Reverse description | Two Bonefish (Albula vulpes) are depicted in profile swimming in opposite directions — the upper fish facing left and the lower fish facing right — amid stylised aquatic vegetation filling the field. The date '1969' appears above the fish near the upper rim, and the denomination legend 'TEN CENTS' is inscribed along the lower arc. An inner beaded border follows the scalloped contour of the coin's edge throughout. |
