Question
I have an extremely large $100 whales of the world coin with the commonwealth of the Bahamas on it. It's from 1994 and has a killer whale on the back. I have been searching online for a while trying to find a value of it. Can you help me?

Hi Heather, There were only 750 of these huge 1000 gram coins minted that year containing 1 pound of silver (32.116 ounces). It may be worth about $650.
You might try Ebay.com for similar pieces for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
