2 Dollars - Elizabeth II Queen Mother

正面描述	Effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a crown and pearl drop earring, as designed by Raphael David Maklouf, set within the silver centre of the bimetallic flan. The legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs around the upper portion of the gold-plated outer ring, with the date 2000 positioned in the lower field. A beaded inner border separates the central portrait from the inscribed ring.

附加信息	Issued to mark the Queen Mother's centenary year, this piece commemorates Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who reached her 100th birthday on August 4, 2000 — an occasion that prompted over 40,000 people to gather outside Buckingham Palace. The Bahamas had maintained strong ties to the British Crown through independence in 1973, and royal commemorative issues remained a consistent feature of Bahamian numismatic policy well into the post-colonial decades. The bimetallic format — a then-fashionable production choice among Commonwealth mints around the turn of the millennium — was achieved here through a gilt outer ring rather than a true gold alloy, a cost-containment decision common to commemorative programs of this type.
