Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1973 Bahamian $50 Independence gold coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Bahamian coat of arms, which includes symbols such as a shield with the national colors, a conch shell, and a pineapple.
