The Bahamas 10 Cents coin is a scalloped, copper-nickel coin that was first introduced in 1966 when the Bahamian dollar replaced the pound . It typically features the Coat of Arms of The Bahamas on the obverse (front) and two bonefish on the reverse (back). The coin also includes the country’s motto “Forward, Upward, Onward Together” and the year of mintage. The coin has a plain edge, weighs approximately 5.18 grams, and has a diameter of 23.50 millimeters.
These coins were circulated between 1974 and 2005. There are also 10 Cents coins from other years, such as 2007, with slightly different features.
The collectible value of a Bahamas 10 Cents coin depends on its condition and rarity (determined by the year of minting).
