Interesting fact
The 1973 Bahamian $100 Independence coin is a unique piece of numismatic history. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on July 10, 1973. The coin's design features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the Bahamian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's transition from a British colony to an independent nation. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
