1998 Bahamas 25 year Independence Gold Proof

Hey everyone!

I was looking through my dad's coin collection and found that he has a 1998 Bahamas 25 year $250 gold proof. The Issue Limit was 250 and it comes with a certificate of authenticity. I can't seem to find out much about the value of this coin online and was hoping someone here would be able to help me find out more about it

    Based on current gold price, the gold alone is worth $3,750. My guess is that is the value. Probably not valued at any higher than the gold content.

    I am wondering if that is indeed the case. But past experience with a commemorative bank note bought in 2022 at $6 now selling for $30 made we wonder if the value may be higher to collectors/Bahamians

    Really useful thanks! But I see the only similar item on Worthpoint is the box...it's been a tough road to try and find recent sales for the coin itself

    Nice piece, given the 176/250 proof mintage, it might have a slight premium. Good luck
