Comment
The three dots to either side of the denomination and date are missing from the 1973 proof and business strikes.Interesting fact
The 15 cents coin featuring Elizabeth II from the Bahamas is unique because it was minted during a brief period when the country was transitioning from using the British system of pounds and pence to the decimal system. As a result, this coin has both the old and new denominations on opposite sides, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
