250 Dollars Flamingo

The Bahamas began issuing gold bullion coinage in the 1970s alongside a broader post-independence monetary restructuring, but the flamingo series in its modern .9999 fine iteration targets the international bullion market rather than domestic circulation — the face value is purely nominal against spot. The KM#240 designation places this within a long-running commemorative framework the Central Bank has maintained for decades, leaning on the flamingo as the country's national bird and a recurring fixture across Bahamian numismatic issues going back to the early post-independence period.
