This is the new $3. No Pick number yet. The face of the note shows Queen Elizabeth II wearing her wedding gift of Burnese rubies that she had set in a floral theme tiara. On her left shoulder you can see her wearing her family honor of her father, King George VI. Sharing the face of the note is a vignette of a passion flower. Also a map with the named major islands of the Bahamas. The Queen appears a second time as the watermark.

The back of the note is vertically oriented. 4 boats and a beach scene complete the feel of paradise depicted.

I see these threads are going to become a theme! :)

You post the new ones, I'll provide the old- and here is my one and only Bahaman banknote so far:



An undated 4 Shillings from 1953 with Queen Elizabeth II on it, the unusual denomination (4/-) I believe was created a few decades back, just so it would be more equivalent to the US dollar in the neighbouring States, worth slightly less than 5 shillings (a crown).

This note is also literally a paper double florin, if you think about it like that. <:D
Very good! I really like this portrait of the Queen. She is wearing the George IV diadem.
