Bahamas 25 dollars Christopher Columbus San Salvador proof silver coin 1985

The 1985 Bahamas 25 Dollars proof silver coin is a striking commemorative issue dedicated to Christopher Columbus and his first landfall in the New World at San Salvador in 1492. The obverse vividly portrays Columbus stepping ashore, raising a flag and cross, surrounded by his crew as they claim the island in the name of Spain. The detailed engraving captures the historic moment with expressive figures, banners, and the inscription “SAN SALVADOR – CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS,” while the denomination “TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS” and date “1985” frame the scene. The reverse features the elaborate coat of arms of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, crowned with a conch shell and supported by a marlin and flamingo, with the national motto “FORWARD, UPWARD, ONWARD TOGETHER” displayed on a ribbon below. Struck in proof silver, this coin radiates mirror-like brilliance, emphasizing both artistry and symbolism. A tribute to discovery, heritage, and Bahamian identity, it is an exceptional collectible for history lovers and numismatists alike.
