Comment
There is a variant not listed in the catalogs without any mention of the fineness.It would seem that there is also a version where the fineness is situated at the top left on reverse.
Interesting fact
The 1995 Bahamas $5 Bullion-Flamingo coin is made of 99.9% gold and weighs 6.22 grams. It's a non-circulating coin, meaning it's not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or an investment vehicle. The coin's design features a flamingo, which is a symbol of the Bahamas, and the obverse side bears the image of Queen Elizabeth II. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item for numismatists and gold investors.
