Bahamas Central Bank 20 Dollars 1974 (ND 1993) Pick 54a PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. A rare opportunity to obtain such a scarce example. When Queen Elizabeth II's portrait was replaced with that of Milo Butler's in 1993, the balance of the note remained largely unchanged, except for some minor color scheme adjustments. However, at some point near the end of the A-prefix line, the back of the note was given a new engraving of Nassau Harbour, which then included Paradise Island. The first variety, Butler portrait and south-facing Nassau Harbour engraving is quite rare, and unrecorded in the Standard Catalog. All James Smith signed, undated $20s are cataloged as P-54a, regardless of the back variety. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/bahamas-central-bank-20-dollars-1974-nd-1993-pick-54a-pmg-gem-uncirculated-66-epq/a/4039-25011.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4039-10202022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
