| Additional information |
Issued in the years immediately following Bahamian independence in 1973, this gold series was part of a broader push by the new nation to establish a distinct coinage identity while retaining the Commonwealth framework — hence Elizabeth II's continued presence on the obverse. The .9166 fineness mirrors the traditional 22-karat crown gold standard, a deliberate nod to British minting convention rather than the .999 purity favored by contemporary bullion programs.
Mintages across the 1974–1977 run were modest, with proof issues struck at the Franklin Mint under contract.
