| Additional information |
The green catbird (Ailuroedus crassirostris) is native to the rainforests of eastern Australia and New Guinea — it has no natural presence in the Bahamas whatsoever. This coin belongs to a wave of wildlife-themed issues produced for small island nations whose mints and licensing agents select fauna purely for collector appeal, with the issuing government lending its authority to a product largely designed and distributed elsewhere.
