| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, rendered in the third portrait by engraver Raphael David Maklouf, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara and a pearl necklace. The bust is finely detailed with draped shoulders and a naturalistic profile. The legend 'COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS' curves along the upper periphery, while 'ELIZABETH II' is inscribed along the lower border. The design is framed by a beaded inner border consistent with the Maklouf portrait series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The date in this coin's name marks Columbus's first landfall in the Americas — most likely at an island the Taíno called Guanahani, which Columbus renamed San Salvador. The precise location remains genuinely contested among historians, with candidates ranging from Watling Island (now legally renamed San Salvador) to Samana Cay, a dispute that was still actively argued in scholarship around the time this coin was struck.
The 1989 issue coincided with preparations for the quincentennial, which would generate an enormous volume of commemorative coinage across multiple nations over the following three years.
