1967 Bahamas Gold Uncirculated Coin Set - Adoption of the New Constitution.
This Bahamian gold coin set consists of four coins, issued in Bahamian dollars - $100, $50, $20 and $10. Each coin is struck in 22 carat fineness and the whole set contains 2.1196 troy ounces of gold.
Only 850 sets were ever issued, making this a perfect addition to any gold coin collection.
Please note these coin sets are issued without a certificate of authenticity.
We believe that gold coins should be at least .900 fine gold (90%). The coins in this 1967 set are of .917 (22ct) fine gold.
Many of the Bahamas coins are of various lower finenesses, even within the same year. They are also made in numerous different diameters and weights. This is quite confusing for collectors, dealers and catalogues alike. Much of this boils down to marketing of new coins. If they can be made smaller, lighter, and with less gold; the costs can be held down, more coins sold, and bigger profits made. We disagree with this cynical policy of debasing the coins and denomination, but there is little we can do about it, we simply make a market in second-hand, and sometimes new coins.
The obverse of these gold coins features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by British artist and sculptor, Arnold Machin.
The reverse varies, depending on the coin.
One hundred dollars - depicts a portrait of Christopher Columbus. The text in the background reads:
CHRISTOPHORVS COLVMBO 1492 BAHAMAS
Fifty dollars - shows the Santa Maria ship sailing on the water.
Twenty dollars - features a lighthouse with crashing waves.
Ten dollars - shows a fortress with palm trees and a flag.
