| Reverse description | Two West Indian flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), the national bird of the Bahamas, depicted standing face-to-face with their long necks gracefully intertwined above a rising sun set over a stylized seascape with radiating sunrays. Tropical foliage and coral elements frame the lower composition, lending a naturalistic quality to the design. The legend 'FLAMINGO' arcs along the upper periphery, while '25 DOLLARS' appears in the lower field. The denomination inscription on the reverse does not include the fineness legend visible in the lettering field, which reads '1OZ Au999.9'. A beaded border surrounds the entire design. |
