A helmet surmounted by a conch shell and a tropical palm frond forms the crest above the shield. A scroll at the base bears the national motto in Latin. The legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 1985 appears in the exergue. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |
