Central Bank of the Bahamas Logo
The Central Bank of the Bahamas was created in 1974 via the Central Bank of the Bahamas Act. Its objectives are to manage, maintain and supervise the monetary system of The Bahamas (e.g., currency, credit, payment systems, etc.).
The primary design element of the bank's adopted logo is the Sand Dollar - a flat sea urchin that burrows into sandy areas below the water. "Sand Dollar" is also the name of the Bahamas digital currency which the Central Bank is developing with the intent of it replacing the majority of local cash transactions.

On the Series 1984 notes, it can be found on the Front in an upper left position near the image of the basketworks, and on the Back in the upper right adjacent to the Bahamas Coat-of-Arms.
