| Reverse description | The central motif presents a raised globe depicting the Caribbean region overlaid with a grid of latitude and longitude lines, emphasizing the geographic scope of the Caribbean Development Bank's membership. The legend TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY 1970-1995 arcs along the upper periphery, while CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK curves along the left and lower portions of the field. Two stylised hummingbirds in flight flank the lower portion of the globe, accompanied by decorative floral and fern motifs, and two butterflies appear at the left and right mid-field. The mirror-polished proof fields provide strong contrast against the frosted design elements. |

| Additional information |
The Caribbean Development Bank, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Barbados, was established specifically to channel development funding toward the smaller island economies that were largely bypassed by larger regional institutions. The Bahamas joined as a founding member, and this commemorative issue marks that ongoing relationship. These CDB-themed coins were struck across multiple Caribbean member states in the 1990s, often sharing nearly identical specifications — the .925 silver Bahamian issue runs parallel to contemporaneous pieces from other member nations, all produced to the same 28.28g standard popularized by the Royal Mint for commemorative contracts.
