| Obverse description | The arms of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas occupy the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a British galleon in full sail on the lower half and a rising sun above, supported by a marlin to the left and a flamingo to the right, surmounted by a conch shell helmet with mantling. Below the shield, a scroll bears the national motto in two lines. The circular legend 'COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS' runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the date '1983' appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

The denomination 'FIFTY DOLLARS' arcs along the upper periphery, while '10th ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE' curves along the lower border, all within a beaded inner border. The fineness mark '500/1000 FINE GOLD' appears in small letters at the lower right of the field. |
