The 1985 Bahamas 1 Dollar coin, struck in copper-nickel and certified PR70 Deep Cameo by PCGS, is a shining example of the nation’s Republic coinage series. The obverse presents an elegant depiction of the bougainvillea flower, with its delicate leaves and blossoms finely detailed to capture the tropical vibrancy of the islands. Above the design, the denomination “ONE DOLLAR” is clearly inscribed, while a dotted border frames the composition. On the reverse, the intricate Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas is proudly displayed. The shield features a ship above waves and a rising sun, symbolizing discovery and a bright future. Flanking the shield are a marlin and flamingo, emblematic of the country’s fauna, while a conch shell crowns the crest. Below, the motto “Forward, Upward, Onward Together” is inscribed, with the date 1985 at the base. This flawless proof coin, with its mirror-like fields and frosted relief, embodies both natural beauty and national identity — a perfect piece for collectors of Caribbean and floral-themed numismatics.
