Bahamas (1953) 10 Shilling Note, Pick #14d, VF
The Bahamas 10 Shilling note, issued before the country adopted the Bahamian dollar, was part of the British colonial currency system. It typically featured British monarchs, such as Queen Elizabeth II, on the obverse, highlighting the colonial ties between The Bahamas and the United Kingdom. The reverse often depicted local imagery, including elements of Bahamian culture, wildlife, or architecture, reflecting the island nation's heritage and identity. These notes were in circulation until the Bahamas transitioned to its own currency in 1966. Today, the 10 Shilling note is a valuable collectible, offering a glimpse into the Bahamas' colonial past and its eventual path to independence.
