Bahamas – 1972 – Dollars – Elizabeth II – 4 Gold Coins Proof Set – with original case

Bahamas 1972 Gold Proof Set – A numismatic testimony to Caribbean history

This exclusive 4-piece gold coin set from 1972 was created during a period of political turmoil – shortly before the Bahamas gained independence and joined the Commonwealth of Nations as a sovereign state.

Manufactured under the supervision of the Bahamas Monetary Authority and minted by the renowned Royal Canadian Mint, this set brings together four artfully designed gold coins in denominations of $10, $20, $50, and $100. Each coin features significant symbols of Bahamian history: a historic fort, a lighthouse as a landmark, the legendary Santa Maria, and the Bahamas’ coat of arms.

The reverse of all coins features the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II – a lasting symbol of the close connection to the British Crown in a time of change.

The coins are made of 91.7% gold (22 carats). The set has a total fine weight of 52.72 g (approximately 1.695 oz). All coins are originally sealed and come in the original presentation box.

With a worldwide limited edition of only 1,250 sets, this ensemble is one of the rare numismatic witnesses that impress with both historical significance and aesthetic quality.
