| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing a rising sun above a sailing ship, supported by a marlin to the left and a flamingo to the right, surmounted by a crested helm with a conch shell and tropical foliage above. A scroll at the base bears the national motto in the exergue. The circumferential legend reads COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS, with the date 1992 below the shield. The field exhibits a proof-quality mirror finish contrasting with frosted relief devices. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed engraving of Christopher Columbus's three caravels under full sail dominates the central field, each vessel individually identified by its name inscribed in the field: Niña to the upper left, Pinta to the right, and Santa Maria in the lower left foreground. The ships are depicted in dynamic nautical composition on stylized waves, with the engraver's initials ASH visible in the lower right field. The circumferential legend DISCOVERY OF THE NEW WORLD arcs along the upper border within a beaded inner circle, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears along the lower border. |
