This specimen was lot 1481 in Stephen Album sale 43 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2022), where it did not sell. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Bahamas|BAHAMAS]]: Elizabeth II, 1952-, AV 20 dollars, 1972, Lighthouse, Proof." This NCLT doesn't seem to commemorate anything other than the government's desire to sell gold to speculators.

''Recorded mintage:'' 10,000 plus 1,250 proofs.

''Specification:'' 6.48 g, 0.917 fine gold.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-35.
