1966 Bahamas $5 Coat of Arms BU
In 1966, the Bahamas released a striking five dollar silver coin that captures a pivotal moment in the archipelago's modern history. Struck in a brilliant uncirculated finish, this substantial piece contains 1.2527 troy ounces of actual silver, giving it a heavy, satisfying presence in the hand. The coin features a detailed coat of arms accompanied by a fascinating Latin inscription, "EXPULSIS PIRATIS RESTITUTA COMMERCIA." This motto, translating to "Pirates Expelled, Commerce Restored," points directly to the colorful and turbulent maritime past of the islands. The design also clearly displays the year 1966, the face value of "FIVE DOLLARS," and the name of the issuing nation, "BAHAMA ISLANDS."
