2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Catamaran Sailing

The Bahamas issued a series of silver collector pieces through the 1990s tied closely to the tourism economy that dominated national revenue — catamarans being a fixture of the charter sailing industry operating out of Nassau and Freeport. KM#183 belongs to that run, produced for the collector market rather than circulation, with the Central Bank contracting strikes to maintain foreign exchange earnings through numismatic exports. Mintage figures for this type were modest and demand outside the Caribbean collector community was never strong.
