In the Bahamas each island or island group issues its own plates, and the region is read from the name on the plate: ABACO, HARBOUR ISLAND, GRAND BAHAMA. The current series has two letters and four digits with the Bahamian flag at the bottom. The example shows the earlier Abaco design: up to four digits, the island name at the top and BAHAMAS at the bottom.
