| Aanvullende informatie |
The Bahamas achieved independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, and this gold issue was part of a commemorative program struck specifically for that occasion. The .750 fineness — rather than the more conventional .900 or .9999 used by most sovereign gold issues of the period — was a deliberate choice to bring the coin's gold value closer in line with its $100 face denomination at prevailing 1973 gold prices, which were still adjusting in the volatile aftermath of Nixon's 1971 suspension of dollar-gold convertibility.
KM#49.2 distinguishes this from the .585 fineness variant (KM#49.1) struck in the same program.
