About this banknote
The Central Bank of The Bahamas issued the 5-dollar banknote in 1984. This series was introduced following the 1974 Central Bank Act, which streamlined the nation’s currency issuance under the newly established Central Bank. The banknote is part of an effort to update and unify Bahamian currency during the early 1980s.
The front side of the note features a vibrant orange color scheme with a multicolor underprint. It includes a statue at the left, a map at the center left, and a mature portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at the center right. On the reverse, local dancers from Junkanoo are depicted at the center, with the arms of the Bahamas at the right. The note was printed by Thomas De La Rue (TDLR) and includes a watermark of a sailing ship.
