Bahamanian coins?

I recently got gifted some Bahamanian coins. I believe they are silver, but I am unsure. Could anyone please direct me to a site to determine this?

They are Bahama Islands $5.00, $2.00, and $1.00 coins, all from 1970.

Thanks!

I'll check my Krause catalog when I get home. Are they proof set?

Thanks, Silverity

No, no proofs. These were coins my Grandfather bought when he was down there. I can remember playing with them when I was a kid. I would imagine they only have bullion value. I just wonder what the silver content is.
