| Obverse description | The Arnold Machin effigy of Queen Elizabeth II is depicted as a right-facing draped bust, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait is youthful and finely detailed, with the queen's hair styled in an upswept coiffure beneath the tiara. The circumferential legend reads 'COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMA ISLANDS' above and 'ELIZABETH II' below, separated by two raised dots. The design is framed by a continuous inner border of raised beads. |

| Reverse description | Two American flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), the national bird of the Bahamas, are depicted standing face-to-face in the central field, their sinuously curved necks forming an elegant S-shaped composition. Between them, a rising sun with radiating rays emerges over a calm seascape rendered in low relief, evoking the Caribbean setting. Tropical flora — including flowering plants to the left and leafy vegetation to the right — frames the lower field. The denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' arcs along the upper left and the date along the upper right, both separated from the design by a beaded border. |
