Numismatic Coins
The Numismatic Coin Programme
The Numismatic Coin Programme was initiated with the issuance of two specimen silver sets in 1966: a 7-coin and 9-coin set. These sets were designed by renowned British artist Arnold Machin, and were minted by the Royal Mint of London. Generally, proof/non-proof gold and silver commemorative coins are produced in collaboration with a promoter for sale to coin dealers and numismatists. In fact, many of the coin programmes commemorate events of both national and international significance, such as Bahamian Independence, the Olympic Games, the 500th Anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the New World, the World Cup; and have featured various wildlife themes. By end-2000, the face value of numismatic coins sold was approximately $68.0 million. The numismatic programme is administered through the Bank’s Administration Department.
