2 Dollars - Elizabeth II

The Bahamas gained independence in 1973 after more than two centuries of British colonial rule, and the currency reform that accompanied it prompted an entirely new coinage series. These silver two-dollar pieces were struck during the transitional window — issued under the newly established Bahamas Monetary Authority, which had replaced the old currency board arrangement just years before. The Authority was itself a short-lived institution, superseded by the Central Bank of the Bahamas at independence.

Franklin Mint handled production, a common arrangement for newly sovereign Caribbean nations seeking quality coinage without established mint infrastructure of their own.
