| Additional information |
The Flamingo issue belongs to the Bahamas' long-running bullion and commemorative gold program, which the Central Bank leaned on heavily through the 1980s and 1990s as a revenue strategy tied to collector markets rather than domestic circulation. At precisely one-half troy ounce, this denomination sits in a deliberately commercial sweet spot — accessible to mid-tier bullion buyers without committing to a full-ounce price point.
Mintage figures for this specific year remain difficult to pin down from public records, which is itself characteristic of the series.
