| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central device displays the full coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, featuring a quartered shield with a rising sun above a ship in full sail, supported by a blue marlin to the left and a flamingo to the right, surmounted by a crested helmet bearing a conch shell. The national motto ribbon below reads FORWARD UPWARD ONWARD TOGETHER. The circumferential legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs around the upper field, with the date 1983 at the base, the whole bordered by a beaded inner circle. The Valcambi mint mark (CHI) appears in the lower left field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bahamas gained independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, making this 1983 issue a decade-mark for a nation that had been a Crown Colony since 1718. The transition was notably smooth by regional standards — no armed conflict, no constitutional crisis — negotiated largely under Prime Minister Lynden Pindling, who had come to power in 1967 when the Progressive Liberal Party ended two centuries of white minority political dominance.
The .900 fine gold specification places this squarely in line with the Franklin Mint-era Commonwealth commemorative issues, which dominated the Bahamian numismatic program throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.
