| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two American flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber), the national bird of the Bahamas, are depicted standing face-to-face in the central field, their sinuously curved necks forming an elegant S-shaped composition. Between them, a rising sun with radiating rays emerges over a calm seascape rendered in low relief, evoking the Caribbean setting. Tropical flora — including flowering plants to the left and leafy vegetation to the right — frames the lower field. The denomination 'TWO DOLLARS' arcs along the upper left and the date along the upper right, both separated from the design by a beaded border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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 The Authority was itself a short-lived institution, superseded by the Central Bank of the Bahamas at independence.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.
