Bahamas 25 cents Republic Coinage Ship Clipper PR70 PCGS nickel coin 1985

The 1985 Bahamas 25 Cents coin, graded PR70 by PCGS, is a flawless proof from the nation’s Republic coinage series. On the obverse, a Bahamian sailing sloop cuts gracefully through stylized ocean waves, its tall mast supporting a fully unfurled sail. On board are three sailors, captured in fine detail, symbolizing the maritime traditions and seafaring culture that have long defined the islands. The denomination “TWENTY FIVE CENTS” is boldly inscribed along the rim, enclosed by a beaded border. The reverse displays the official coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas: a shield with a conch shell upon waves and a radiant sun, topped by a sailing ship recalling Columbus’s Santa Maria. Supporting the shield are a marlin fish and a flamingo, embodying both ocean and land. Palm fronds, the national motto, and the inscription “COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS” with the date 1985 complete the emblem. Struck in nickel with a brilliant proof finish and certified a perfect PR70, this coin unites artistry, national symbolism, and cultural heritage in a collectible masterpiece.
