The obverse design is of Queen Elizabeth II. Unlike many coins on the market that have the image of the queen, this one is not a design widely used around the world. This design is by Arnold Machin, a British artist. In this picture, the queen is very young and wearing a tiara on her head. She looks relaxed and yet very regal. To the left of her is ‘Elizabeth II’. To the right of her is ‘Bahama Islands’.
On the reverse side of the coin is the Coat of Arms of the Bahamas. This consists of a shield with two sections. In the top section is a crown. In the bottom section are two large merchant ships. At the bottom of the coat of arms is the Latin phrase ‘EXPULTIS PIRATIS RESTITUTA COMMERCIA’ which translates to ‘Pirates defeated, commerce restored’. Above the Coat of Arms is ‘FIVE DOLLARS’ and to the right is ‘1966’.
