| Obverse description | The arms of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas occupy the central field, depicting a shield charged with a rising sun above a sailing ship, supported on the dexter by a blue marlin and on the sinister by a West Indian flamingo, both rendered in high relief. A helmet and mantling surmount the shield, topped by a conch shell crest from which emerges a hand grasping a cluster of palm fronds. A scroll at the base of the arms bears the national motto in two lines: FORWARD UPWARD ONWARD TOGETHER. The circular legend THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs along the upper periphery, while a continuous ring of raised beads frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | Three West Indian flamingos are depicted standing amid tropical vegetation and a serene coastal landscape, their elongated necks gracefully intertwined in the upper field, with a radiant rising sun reflected on calm waters rendered in the background. Native flora including sea oats and flowering plants frame the lower portion of the scene, creating a naturalistic composition of exceptional artistic quality. The denomination TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery in bold lettering, while the date 1974 is inscribed at the base of the design, flanked by raised dots. A continuous ring of raised beads borders the entire reverse field. |
