| Additional information |
The Atlantic puffin has no native connection to the Bahamas — its range spans the North Atlantic, from Newfoundland to Iceland and the British Isles. This coin belongs to a wave of Bahamian wildlife issues targeting the collector market, a practice the Commonwealth of the Bahamas has leaned on heavily since the 1970s to generate seigniorage revenue from thematic series with no domestic circulation intent.
