This design was not issued until 1988. Why is it round and not polygonal? I demand a refund.  >:(

The sketches seem about the shape of the piece, but the finished piece shows a more realistic position of hull and jib than the sketches.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Bermuda dollar sketch 1988.jpg

The 1979 unadopted designs bear little relation to the 1988 (onwards) circulation design of the dollar.

Here is the first draft for the 1988 dollar design.
