Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1973 Bahamian $20 Independence gold coin is that it features a unique design that commemorates the country's independence from British colonial rule, which was achieved on July 10, 1973. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side depicts a Bahamian flag and the inscription "INDEPENDENCE 1973" in bold letters. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and investors.
