| Additional information |
The 1992 Bahamian flamingo gold issue was part of a broader commemorative program tied to the quincentenary of Columbus's landfall in the Americas — the Bahamas being, by most historical accounts, the first Caribbean territory he reached in October 1492. The Central Bank produced multiple denominations in this series at varying gold fineness, with the .500 standard placing this piece at the lower end of the program's metallurgical range.
