| Additional information |
The Bahamas gained independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, making this 1975 issue the second anniversary commemoration. Unusually for a sovereign gold commemorative of this period, the coin was struck at .500 fineness rather than the more conventional .900 or .917 — a deliberate choice that kept the nominal face value economically viable while still producing a substantial gold piece. The Royal Mint struck these on behalf of the new nation.
