Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1974-1989 Bahamian 25 cent coin is that it was made of pure nickel, which gives it a distinctive silver-gray color. This is unlike many other coins, which are often made of a combination of metals or have a copper or zinc core. The use of pure nickel in this coin's production gives it a unique aesthetic and makes it stand out among other coins.
