| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene featuring two West Indian flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) standing face to face at centre, their sinuous necks forming an elegant curve. A radiant rising sun emerges from the horizon line at lower centre, its rays extending across the mirrored field, flanked by tropical aquatic vegetation and flowering plants rendered in fine relief. The denomination legend TWO DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised Latin letters within a beaded inner border, while the lower field remains open to showcase the scenic composition. |

The Bahamas gained independence from Britain on July 10, 1973, and the silver proof series issued in the years immediately following reflects the new nation's deliberate effort to establish a distinct coinage identity while maintaining the Commonwealth portrait. KM#66a was struck at the Franklin Mint in Pennsylvania, which held contracts with numerous newly independent nations during the 1970s to produce prestige proof sets — a commercially driven arrangement that kept mintages artificially low and packaging elaborate.
Collector demand for Franklin Mint issues of this period has cooled considerably since their 1970s peak, when subscription-based proof sets were aggressively marketed to American collectors.
