Bahamas 20 Cents Coin

This is a 20-cent denomination coin from the Bahamas, likely minted between 1966 and the early 2000s. The reverse side is visible, featuring the iconic design of three hibiscus flowers positioned above the large numeral '20'. The coin is circular with a distinct scalloped (wavy) edge, which is a key identifying characteristic of this specific Bahamian denomination. It is typically composed of a copper-nickel alloy, giving it a bright silver-colored metallic appearance. The craftsmanship shows clear relief in the floral details and typography. The visible condition includes surface scratches and a light patina consistent with circulation. There are no signs of major denting or significant corrosion, though the luster has dulled slightly over time. The scalloped edges appear relatively sharp, suggesting moderate use. In the background, the coin is resting on a black lacquered box that shows significant wear, including white scuff marks, scratches, and chipped edges. Several other international coins, including what appears to be a larger brass-colored coin and smaller silver-toned coins, are partially visible in the periphery.
